WOTN. So good in fact we opened another bottle! So approachable, balanced and smooth. This shows everything I love most about the 2014 vintage in Napa.

Wow. This is stunning. There is a meatiness to this without being huge or out of balance. A richness that carries to the finish. Smooth and pretty.

Drank this over 3 days and was consistent all 3 days. Smooth, rich mouth of blue fruits and long finish.

Beautiful! My WOTN. Balanced and layered with a long finish. Opened a few hours before serving but not decanted.

The vintage shows when compared to the 2016 which was a pure pleasure year. This 2014 has even more depth/layers, this will last many years and be really good every time you pull the cork.

Silky sensuous nose, oranges and floral on the palate. Only 2 barrels made.

Smooth deep flavors of plum, cherry and chocolate. Great finish. In a class by itself!
