Dark red color. Dried cherries on the nose. Dried cherries on the fore palate with long smooth , bright , spicy finish. (Grilled steak, tater tots, asparagus/ snow peas. First dinner on the lanai 3023) Compared with French Bordeaux.

Nearly purple and bright floral in the nose. Dense somewhat mismatched dark fruits on the palate with earth and bark on opening with rough tannins. Tried again 2 days later and smoother and better balanced but not all the way there. May need more time in the bottle to tame?

Pritchard Hill juice. Who made this stuff? Dark color with a lighter red rim. Dark fruit aromas and flavors with hints of Forrest Floor, black licorice, balsamic vinegar, violets and baking spices. Touch of vanilla on the long satiny finish. Unbelievable QPR for a Napa Cab! Limited availability. Revisited in March 2022. Still outstanding! Revisited again in May 2023. Still fantastic!

Big frame with a soft touch. The warm and ultra smooth palate really saves the bottle from the overly jammy red and blue fruit core. Velvety sweet tannins.

Kind of a basic Napa Cab. Had higher hopes, may need more time in the bottle. Not as big, bold, and fruit forward as I prefer my Napa Cabs but still a good bottle of wine.
