2017 vintage. Last tasted 01.22.25 (9.4). Said no then but said yes this time. $50 a bottle on two cases. Medium body with dark fruit and grip for days. Vineyard planted to the Hartwell (Grace) clone. Helluva deal with many/most of the Napa cabs previously in this price range having rocketed up to the $80-$100 range. Needs a decant/air time but is a ringer in a blind Napa cab tasting. Decided, old-school stylings. 04.02.25.

Apr 2nd, 20252017 vintage. Interesting pedigree. Medium body. Great intensity throughout with surprisingly affordable pricing. Horrible label. Not exactly deficient in the Napa cab wars inventory-wise currently but this was verry compelling in a challenging vintage. 01.22.25.

Delicious! Dark fruits plums blackberries with hints of cocoa and baking spices! Super easy to drink. Paired perfectly with the steak we had tonight - absolutely drinking really well right now!
