Ummm. Yeah. Lucky me! And my friends too! Second home in Napa does have some benefits. A classic example of a perfect Napa cab. Totally balanced, fantastic fruit, viscous and smooth mouth feel mid-pallet, long finish, did I mention totally balanced? And this is their second label, can only imagine how good the Family or Bettina 2012 is . . . — 10 years ago

Little spillage upon opening to the label, but we love the wine regardless. Ehren always does a great job with Keefer Ranch fruit, 2012 no exception. Deep dark fruit with tea follow on a long smooth finish. Thanks Ehren! — 10 years ago

1996. Glad we didn't wait one more day to open. Fading summer red fruits and just enough hint of structure to give it a nice finish. — 10 years ago
