This is Oak Knoll and a blend- lighter, dusty tannins but easy drinking. More red fruit than your typical cab. Aging fast but well.

This Napa Cab sits dark in the glass, emitting aromas of black cherry, cassis, anise, vanilla and some pencil lead. It’s a remarkably fresh wine, with a racy acidity and very firm tannins. Dark red fruit on the palate is layered with a savory backbeat which lingers on the lengthy finish.

Deep ruby color with viscous legs. Aromas of lavender, dried cherries, toasted oak, and vanilla. Medium + body, medium + tannins, with flavor notes of cassis, cherry, baking spice, and a dollop of cream. Medium + finish, with much potential to improve with additional bottle age.

Juicy and whiffing pierezynes, this little guy should've been left in his stable for a couple of more years. I appreciate the stylistic winemaking direction but it was not for me. I think 2011 was hard on a lot of people.

Makes me excited just smelling it. Elegant, complex, intense...delicious. A cool wet vintage with a good skilled winemaker is obvious. #employee

Chocolate covered cherries on the nose. A light taste initially, followed by a force to be reckoned with. Blackberries, blueberries, plum, and a tad of citrus on the tongue. Opened this 2020 in 2026, and let it breathe for 30 minutes. Frankly, couldn’t help my self. Will pair nicely with our French dip dinner.

Yum! Enjoyed a 2015 tonight with roast beef and it was excellent. Notes of Plum, strawberries, and smells of oak and tobacco. Very blessed to drink a 2015 in 2021!
