I’m blown away how good this is. I thought it’d be history but it is tasty!

The 2017 Estate Red is an unusual blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Malbec and 11% Petit Verdot. Racy and opulent to the core, the 2017 packs a serious punch. Jammy red fruit, chocolate, iron, smoke, tobacco and incense add layers of savory, earthy complexity. The 2017 is maybe just a bit rustic, but it has plenty of depth, too. Give it an hour or two in the decanter. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2021)

Blend of 47% Cab Sauv, 37% Malbec, 9% Petit Verdot & 7% Merlot, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, herb, tobacco and floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and blueberry fruit with licorice, cacao, leather and oak, well balanced. Fine ripe tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and spice. A pleasure to drink. Very nice!

Big but balanced. Needs time.

A nose dominated with raspberries, and a hint of coconut.
The palete has rich black currants notes, followed by a touch of damp soil. Lovely ripe tannins and bright acidity complete the experience. A true Bdx attempt from Napa is always a vivid take on its French counterpart.

Too early for this although it's delicious. Lots of oaky tannins and cherry, blackberry, currant and vanilla. Next bottle in 2020

Awesome red blend 2013 ! After trying this beautiful red I believe this is the Robert Parker 96+. Loaded with black fruits, soft tannins , lush ! The cab blends great with the Malbec and other 4 reds in this wine. Purchased at Wineworks on sale for 47.98, Reg Price was64.99.. I give this a Strong 98-100! It's that Great. CB
