Awesome producer! 1hr+ decant. Lovely red color. Nose had pencil shavings and vibrant fruit. Classic Napa sweetness on the palate with caramel integrated with cedar. Napa all the way but unique in its own special way! — 11 days ago

Medium yellowish/gold color. Beeswax, tangerine, peach, nuts, and camomile on the nose. Rich wine with ample complexity. Acidity is well integrated. Just coats the palate. Refreshing yet deep and bold. High quality! — 10 days ago

PnP. Lovely dark purple color. A little hot on the nose with stewed cherries, rhubarb, and licorice. Same on the palate minus the OH. Good texture yet flavor fades some. Solid wine for the price. — 18 days ago
