My wife went to the Boyd Vineyard last weekend on a private tour recommended by a colleague. She liked the 2010 Cab, Oak Knoll District so much, she had the vineyard ship a case home for my birthday. extremely smooth even without giving time to breathe. Not overpowered berry or other fruit, dry but without dust on the rim. You will make a good impression if you bring this to the next dinner party invite but volunteer to open on site as you may not find it again. Just returned from a business trip to my French parent company. I did not taste anything better over there. Concerned how the 2011 will fare given how that poor year is shaping up but there are exceptions,

Nothing overly distinctive, just a solid cab.

This vintage has some depth and complexity. The tannins are settling and if you enjoy chewing on wine I’d recommend this for sure.

Nov 9th, 2019Significantly better now that it has aged a bit. Will continue to improve with time.

One of the best Napa Oak Knoll cabs there is! Not overly oaked and with beautiful fruit showing through, with a touch of earthiness and vanilla. Love this wine!

Jan 6th, 2016Needs some time. Found wine never really opened up over time although this is still young. Boyd overall produces great wines so I'm sure time will improve wine.
