I remember tasting this wine around 20 years ago & I remember exactly what it tasted like. One of the best wines from Napa for the 98 vintage. Rice a Roni should give David Ramey the Jericho Canyon fruit back to make Cabernet. These Rudd & the Ramey Jerichos are top notch. I just read Pepsi now owns Rice a Roni.

Another 4th Friday for the books! What a variety this month!

Compared to some of the other older Napa wines we tasted, I never got any green notes here. Balanced. Tannins are mostly hidden, so I’d start drinking if you have any. Very red and black fruit dominant. Truffled mushrooms, oiled leather and the other secondary notes are getting more pronounced.

'98 was panned by the critics. Eff the critics. Really impressive, I must say.

For me my favorite vintage of this wine from Rudd ( Cool Year) where I purchased several cases based on RP notes. This was made by David Ramey & had lots of dark fruits, mocha, savory spice & tobacco.

Just a beautiful vintage for this wine that I have enjoyed many times over the last 20 yrs made by David Ramey. Still youthful in a Bordeaux style.

A wine that I have had many times that was originally purchased based on RP’s notes where he compared it with several 1st growths. This has continued to drink well upon release & shows no sign of slowing down. A cool vintage cab with notes of dark fruits, cassis, mocha, sweet & savory spices, forest floor, licorice & tobacco.
