Perfect Rosé for the summer! — 8 years ago
Masculine. Hits the apex of depth and concentration of all these wines. The fruits, the herbs, the minerals, the earth, all things are so brooding and intensely weighty on the palate. Definitely needs time/air to align itself — 9 years ago
Fantastic for the vintage. Quite a lot of fruit left. — 9 years ago

This was a big wine, yet of the European style. Made in the Brian Carter era of Apex, this was his last venture with creating straight variatal wines before his BC Cellars start. I held on to this bottle since 2004 to drink it. Took 2 days to open up and it was still tight!! $36 / 95pts — 11 years ago
Very smooth! Just a little spice on the body with subtle chocolate on the finish. Yummy! — 12 years ago
This was just f'n out of this world. I don't generally drink Napa cab this young but I may need to change my thoughts on that. Such a rich, distinctive, ethereal beauty. Strong and bold but so much finesse and fruit just at the apex of perfect ripeness. — 8 years ago
Smooth and at its apex, coffee and chocolate throughout. Such an enjoyable port after a wonderful night of wine and food — 9 years ago
Brightly bitter, with a long yeasty, wheaty finish. Yum! — 9 years ago
My favorite producer......their best wine - what can I say - this is my Apex - I don't know if it gets better then this wine - perfection!!!!! — 9 years ago
Even people who think they don't like Merlot love this wine. I'm particularly fond of this vintage. Lush, full body and delicious. — 9 years ago
2000 vintage. Huge grassy aroma upon opening. After lengthy decanting, a phenomenal beautiful cab franc emerges, fine tannins, with lush texture and layers of flavor that build to an apex of cold smooth stone, fennel and a slight hint of tobacco. 5.75 out of 6 Jeffersons. This is a gorgeous Loire Valley red, from a badass winemaker. — 10 years ago

I am kicking myself for not buying more when @totalwine had it on sale. — 9 years ago
At its apex. Can't image it being better. Very evident fruit, fairly bright color, fully integrated tannins. A pleasure. — 9 years ago
Does Delectable do beers? — 10 years ago
A great wine, but doesn't quite justify price point — 12 years ago
