Boca wine dinner. Now this was good... Let it sit for an hour and the air creates an entirely different full bodied taste. Planning on trading Wells a bottle of Quilceda Creek Galitzine for this... — 7 years ago

Not so bitter, French oak so elegant. concentrated and much more fruity to 2015, since it's made from 1 barrel per 1 acre @2500, TWSFestival Yuan Chang Trading Gary, 171119
This second time is to taste it on full bottle basis. After stable, sweet aroma can be felt. Taste is juicy, violet and raisin flavor as well. We can feel its body weight. But not chocolate like, elegant. Change a lot over time. Valuable one. Good balance with spicy. @,,180306 — 8 years ago

From Trading Places movie - "Feeling good, Billie Ray" and followed by "Looking good, Louis" - using that to describe this wine - which is another big bold beautiful Napa cab with juice from the Beckstoffer to Kalon vineyard - decanted for three hours - it is ready and will deliver - Smiles for everyone (well I hope everyone but for sure I have one) — 9 years ago

2007 vintage. Showing well right now, still with some "youthful" fruit character, while trading on some secondary notes and petrol. Tangerine, orange blossom, apricot, Fuji apple, lime zest, candied grapefruit, beeswax, white and yellow flowers. Pairs well with getting your ass kicked at work during a super busy playoff game night :) — 10 years ago

2007 was just heavenly. Displays the nice aging potential of these Brett wines. Still have about an assortment of their 2007s left in the cellar. In a few more years I can start trading the 2010s. — 10 years ago

From the folks who brought you (in label order from top to bottom) Anamoly and Zeitgeist, Hyde de Villaine and Long Meadow Ranch, Terra Valentine, Massican and Larkmead, Hobel and Milton Road Trading Co., lead by a Master Sommelier employed by Dana Estates, previously with Harlan, Bond, and Promontory, and the sell side being handled by a VP of marketing from Michael Mondavi's Folio.

The stated goal was to create the best pound for pound Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa (highest QPR). The band pooled resources and pulled favors, sourcing the grapes from "one of 'those' vineyards" that cannot be named due to a NDA. 18 months in 1-year old French oak. 15% Merlot and 2% Cab Franc round the balance of Cabernet Sauvignon.

I knew going in this would not be an over extracted fruit bomb, but upon opening I had my concerns that this might be too far in the opposite direction. Fortunately, after 30-45 minutes, it started adding weight like a prize fighter after weigh-in. Acacia flowers, melted licorice, black fruit, with plenty on mineral laced, satiny tannin. Give this an hour, wait for your second glass, and it will envelop you. 93+

And for the record, my guess is they sourced the grapes from a Spring Mountain vineyard. — 9 years ago

This was an amazingly tasty SB. Probably one of the most enjoyable I have had. Thanks Hector for trading with me. It had the acidity and fruit to last 5 to 7 years and amazingly enough just a little oak influence was pleasant and not overwhelming. — 11 years ago

Collected and elegant and without much bravado. Tart and subtle red cherry + strawberry, little flowers that seem to be magically bursting through concrete, dusty gravel that reminds you of playing in a forest with a rocky path that always coated your shoes and jacket with it's scent because you took them off and left them there for hours even though it was cold because that was an acceptable thing to do as a child with no sense of mortality, trading the warmth of cloth instead for reddened cheeks, cool air in your lungs and tiny cuts on your feet. — 8 years ago

Dark compostables and black leaves decompose atop a chocolate ganache aswim in robust coffee and an earthen, near-mushroom fragrance. Molten chocolate cake, crispy espresso bean, coffee liqueur, and a svelte combo of perfectly integrated cedar, chocolate biscotti, burnt brownie on iron, and a backnote of tea tree oil. Blackbeard' breakfast included toast.

I am sure I have spoken about this wine before...it's now a bottle of recovery as I was on Crianza for the last 5 hours... Lovely but too much... This is a star.. I will be staying with this until the Goose or the XO take over.... Or the ultimate.... The baroness instructs me to cease trading..... Nice one - a gift from clonskeagh — 11 years ago
