Very deep, dark, almost sweet. Lots of stuffing. Not very complex but it's very delicious in a hedonistic way.

Hot damn! What a wine. A nose that reminded me of Fruity Pebbles moves to a fantastic combo of plush jammy preserves with mild spices.

Quite possibly the best Cabernet Sauvignon I’ve ever had.

Another piece of history from Napa. 2013 vintage. Rumor has it that RP gave this wine and vintage a perfect score. Can’t disagree but I’m not RP. At Scala in downtown Napa.

A tribute to the owner’s Father. Only 250 cases made. A real deal Cab but hard to get.

A bit over the top still. Needs more age? December 2019.
