Jul 14th, 2017Wow. 2013 went to a screw top and high sulfides. This one is rough. Nothing like the 2012. Will not have again.

Apr 9th, 2016Very nice. Give it a chance to breath a little and dive in. Amazing with filet or even chocolate! Rich berry up front and spicy on the nose. Everything you expect in a good Napa cab. Settles nicely on the palate. I paid $40 and would say it was worth it. This one does need about 2 more years IMHO.
