Simple & nice. Over priced IMO.

Classic Napa - a little heavy on the new oak but again that’s classic Napa as well.

Head out to Napa on Thursday morning for our annual trip, so it’s time to limber up and get ready for some amazing views, food, and wines!

I think I bought this a year ago for around $45. Wanted to give it a test drive since we are visiting Hourglass during our trip. Undeniably a fantastic value. Blackberry-compote, sweet graham cracker and raspberries dominate the nose. Balanced texture. Not quite pop and pour, but open for business after 30-45mins. Mexican vanilla, fig, and milk chocolate covered dates on the finish.

Definitely a wine to get me excited for the trip! Well done

Ripe Blackberry, black currant and a hint of eucalyptus. Palate loaded with blackberry fruit and a touch of toasted vanilla.

Nice blend - a bit sour at first taste, becomes more balanced if you let it breathe.

Fruit forward, delicious blend. Surprisingly 64% Merlot, 20% Petit Sirah, 6% Cab. You’d think this was a cab heavy wine. Wine Access for $50. Stock up 2017 if you see it again.

Really good. Kind of dry finish, with kind of a smoky berry flavor. Very nice blend that reminds me of a Cabernet.

Well made, just not my thing. Acid is there though and flavors. $35
