Smells like a Pinot, looks like a Cab Sauv, body and finish of a Zinfandel. Aromas of gingerbread with flavors of red berries and even cranberry. Lots of sweet spicy notes. Let this one open up as it is a BIG Pinot Noir. Almost like Christmas in a glass. Outstanding! — 9 years ago

A big fruit, oak bomb. Once it opened up it was quite nice. Getting better with age. — 9 years ago

Very nice. Possible that some of the fruit is starting to fade. But with some time in the glass this still reveals a lot and of course finishes with very good acid and smooth, well integrated tannins. Very nice with a big grilled pork chop. — 9 years ago

A big wine showing elegance and restraint, no small feat at 15.5. Distinctive fine, dark-chocolate-y tannins. Leather. Hot blueberry mix on your granny's stove-top before it goes in the pie. Min hour decant. — 10 years ago

This is a very tasty and spicy Napa Cabernet. Big and bold with a great mouthfeel and nice complexity.

Needs time to open up properly.

Showing black fruits with chocolates earth, cedar, vanilla, licorice, coffee, tobacco, spices and peppercorn chocolates.

Still young and needs longer time in the bottle to mature, but already yummy.

Interesting and delicious.

Darker and more exacted for a typical a LB. Ripe blackberries, dark cherries, big strawberry finish, dusty brown soil, dry stones, leather, steeped tea, coffee grounds, nice acidity and delicious finish. — 9 years ago

Best on pop-and-pour, this faded a bit with air. Sported a pleasant green pepper note on the nose (but not on the palate), with an interesting tangy element in the finish. — 9 years ago

Really concentrated for a Pinot Noir. Dark plum compote, cranberry, black fig, clove and anise. Big, bold, tastes similar to a Zinfandel on the palate — 9 years ago

Pierre Arneaux

9.2

Wow. More flavor, much better than their regular cab. Silky, velvet, smooth. Chocolate. Rich fruit. Big, full flavor, lots of flavor. Not old world style for sure, not subtle. It's a big bomb. We would pay up to $75 for this so a bit overpriced to us.
