First open, used Coravin on night one. Cotton candy first hit on the nose. Blows off and you get more melon. On the palette, oak, butter, then acidity hits. Too much going on to really enjoy the wine. On night two, much more mellow and enjoyable. More of the oak/butter style while I prefer something closer to Mayacamas/Mount Eden — 6 months ago
Blend of 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Merlot, aged in French oak for about 18 months, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruit, sweet spice and herbs. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry with tobacco spice, toasty oak and floral notes. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, oak and mineral character, Nice, should age well. — 8 months ago

A little sweet at first, but finishes quite nicely. Nice price point for the quality. — 6 years ago
Uncomparable to anything I've drank before. Very savory and saline. Almost like drinking sea water. Acidity is medium. Not much on the citrus side but there are some almond notes. Interesting. — 7 years ago
2003 Vintage is the best by far. Cannot find it anymore but drinks like a $50 bottle. — 8 years ago

Ruby with complex fruit aromas, spice and oak. Blend of 89% Tempranillo & 11% Graciano, aged 48 months on American oak. On the palate flavors of jammy dark berry fruits with spice & smoky earthy notes on ripe full soft tannins. Long finish, nice mouthfeel, ending with fruit, oak, cigar box spice and mineral earthy tones, a joy to Sip this Fine Wine!! Tasting great, has more aging potential! — a year ago
Lots of forward fruit, red currant and blackberry. Subtle mid palate. Just a nip of tannins on the finish. Overall smooth and easy drinking. — 4 years ago
2012. Christening the finished bottle box table by popping open a former occupant. Simply a perfect wine. Mustard flowers embedded in resin sent be the good folks at #trefethenfamilyvineyards — 6 years ago
Oaky berry campfire. Not a typical cab. Lay down a few years to take off some fruit for some more substance. — 7 years ago

2001 vintage (great Napa cab year). Good, upper-shoulder fill. Dryish cork. Decanted with plenty of sed. Lots of color. Tasted immediately. Smoky plummy nose. Still medium-heavy body. Showing well with plenty of front-palate richness evident in the gums. Overt "oakiness" gone with only complimentary, flattering oak framing the composition at this point. A hint of tannins on the finish but you've got to know where to look. Summer-school hedonism. Slightly better than expected. 11.30.23. — 6 months ago

Perfume nose with some blackberry hints. Sticky mouthfeel with a vanilla flavor, long legs with a good amount of heat on the finish. Mouthfeel turns velvety at the end of the pallet with a raspberry compote note. — 6 months ago
Beautiful caramel notes with a slight hint of honey I enjoyed every sip — 8 months ago
Well balanced cab. No parts too much or little. Firm tannins, some fruit — 8 months ago
Aroma includes Oak, fig. Still tannic and acidic. It is better to decant it. Dry. Red fruits. It is not party wine, but the one enjoyed by taking time. 2015 @1400, wine plus, 221104 — 2 years ago
Lovely Merlot. Will gladly drink again. — 4 years ago
Incredibly delicious. Dry, full bodied. The guy at Bev Mo recommended it and explained that this is the best bourbon-barrel aged—they did it for just the right amount of time. Sounds weird, but so glad I tried it. — 6 years ago
Full flavor. Not too jammy. — 7 years ago
Wow! Stellar! — 10 years ago

Strong oak smell, fruity, medium body, lighter than the 2006 vintage that we had before. Dark fruit flavor. — 5 months ago
