This a chewy traditional cab but more so. Dunn sneaked in Fancy smoothness. Very subtle and extraordinary. Wine is extraordinary. At 75 I’m not aging wine. I’m not sure of the benefits of aging here. This the the good stuff. — 2 months ago
This 22 year old wine was fantastic. Gotta say I was surprised. Beautiful aroma and finish. Layers of flavors and perfectly balanced. The wine has aged well — 3 months ago
Ok I’m prejudice for Pride wines and Claret! I drank the new 2019! I’m 75 so not aging long! Surprisingly fruit forward. Took over an Hour to open up. Simply delicious with layers of fruit, earth , vanilla and sweet tannins. — a month ago

I’m a Beau Freres fan. This 2004 was delicious . Fruity and earthy. Yum . I think it’s done aging. There was a very slight oxidation . So my friends, drink up. !!!! — 3 months ago
Ok, I’m a Rafanelli fan for decades. I didn’t know about the estate blend. It’s delicious. I’m struggling with words. What impressed me the most was that it was beautifully integrated. There were layers of flavors from start to finish. It was seamless. I’ve never experienced this before. Got one bottle left . If you enjoy blends, get some. Hugh — a month ago

I discovered this winery a few years ago. It’s north of Calistoga on the way to the petrified forest. We stopped. What a beautiful place and garden spot. All this and good nice to. You must visit . This wine a blend was delicious. I was surprised to discover Malbec was a major part. ( I really don’t care for Malbec). Tasted like a good merlot blend to me . That said this is a fine well balanced wine. Try it ! — 3 months ago

Early bird is a chewy, earthy Pinot. My favorite! — 10 days ago
