Like being wrapped in a velvet blanket. Luxurious, long and full of dark fruit. Thanks to @Genevieve Bechtold for hosting us at the swanky Memento Mori clubhouse in Napa. — 7 years ago
WOTN!
Life is short,
Remember to live it to its fullest!
This is a gorgeous example of a phenomenal Napa Cab!
Genevieve Bechtold runs this place. It wouldn’t be where it is without her. You better be nice to her when you see her or else you’ll get no wine & will have to deal with Desi & I!!!!!
@Desmond Echavarrie

Manages to be energetic and viscous at once. Warm flowers like hibiscus and honeysuckle mingle with pink grapefruit, apricot, dates, almond, peppercorn, and a light smokey note. Ends with a racy acidity that will have you raising your glass to your lips for another sip. A near perfect pairing with delicate soft cheeses, speck, and raisin walnut bread. — 11 years ago

Racy and succulent. Aromas of pears linden honey and Quince, just the right touch of minerality. Great acidity. Refreshing — 11 years ago

Parfait sur un foie gras. Pas trop sucré. — 11 years ago
Smoke show Riesling! Racing acidity, petrol and honeysuckle and all that one the nose but bone dry with a lot of minerality. Super refined and clean as fuck. Very pretty not showy Riesling. Outstanding with food. High abv. - 13.5! Watch out, bc this stuff is poundable and doesn't drink like it has any punch but she'll get ya. — 11 years ago

100% Cinsault
Fruit from historic 140 year old Bechtold Vineyard in Lodi. 13.4% ABV
this year, Ive had a few bottles of Cinsault from this vineyard from a few different wine makers. The Bonny Doon release has been the most fruit forward and super enjoyable.
