2020 vintage. Fruitier than the 2019 but still bringing framework/structure/street cred. Sara bringing it, in spades. Keep 'em coming! 8.15.23.

2019 vintage. 140 cases made. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The valley floor option from the producer this vintage. Not too shabby.

Very nice Cabernet out of the ghost block vineyard in Yountville. More red than blue fruit, nice medium plus tannins and medium acidity. Well structured and now looking forward to trying the other wines from Pilcrow.

These are fun wines to discover. Pilcrow. Not a family name! I love Napa Cabernet Sauvignon as you can tell - even though I probably drink a lot more Pinot Noir. Seek this out. All my favorite Napa Cabernet Sauvignon wines are both concentrated and balanced - nice work here! Ripe cherry/boysenberry cola flavors wound up with enough tannin to warrant a couple of decades in the deepest cold cellar.

2020 vintage. Last tasted 8.15.23 (9.4). Tasted today with the winemaker, Sara. Consistent noticías. A beautiful effort/hybridization in successfully bridging and incorporating both the old school Napa and the new school Napa. Class is in session. 13.7% ABV. 100% Cabbage. A whopping 175 cases made. HBD, Maria! 4.12.24.

Awesome, It is worth the price and I wish it wasn’t so hard to find.
