A turgid blend, long and hard in the mouth. Finishes explosively. A satisfying blend of balance and finesse. 💯 % estate fruit. Will undoubtedly live for decades.

Wow. Should've hung in there and waited. Damn so impatient Jody. Anyway this is a mouth full of balance dark fruits, some minerals, and light acid. Buy it. Love it. In Lodi.

01’ Mag . This fruit is from To -Kalon & Georges III. This 01 was highly underrated... especially from a magnum!

Magnum. The deep nose offers blackberry, cassis, cedar, licorice, cocoa, sweet spices, and hint of agarwood. Light herbal and rustic notes adds to the taste. Expansive, round, and textured on the palate, the full body is a fine display of reserved power, supported by cool acidic spine.
One of the best left bank blends from Napa I’ve tasted, this 07’ is in top form.

I forgot how delicious this wine really is. Had the 2014 with friends at the fishing camp with dinner. The nose is excellent, the balance is amazing and the finish is long and smooth. I’m glad I’m a member of their wine club.

60% cab sauvignon, 16% merlot, 14% cab franc, 6% Petit verdot and 4% Malbec. At least that's what it tastes like.
