Very well done. Has a sense of place, as opposed to many of the cab clones hailing from Napa today.

Prior notes apply. Loving the tannic structure of this wine. Needs a few more years in the bottle.

Needs time. Not as accessible as the 16 vintage, but still excellent. I’m leaving the rest for a couple of years, at least...

1 person found it helpfulOct 11th, 2019A special and rare example. Not yet released to the public, but the winemaker: @Maayan Koschitzky gifted us this bottle. It’s a clone of the 16 vintage. A beauty that will cellar for a couple of decades, at least. Needs no food - it’s a meal all on its own. Nose has a perfume similar to a reduction, with soft balsamic notes. Palate displays espresso and maple syrup. Focused acidity acts as the backbone for what is an outstanding effort. We expect this to further improve with age.
