Rich and dense but beautifully balanced. Soft and powdery notes of luxurious wood, dark fruit, balsamic nuances, creamy chocolate and caramel. Sweet tobacco, too.
Such a wonderful wine, and showing how good the 97 vintage and the winemaking team (maiden vintage!) was. — 6 years ago

The bouquet is incredible on this wine. Huge cedar note, with deep dark chocolate and spice in the nose. Finish is big and long. Palate is filled with the same notes from the bouquet. My maiden voyage with epoch and it is quickly rising to the top of my list.... tannin structure on this wine is elegant, complex and very present. — 7 years ago

Terrific purity in this quintessential Napa Cab. Decanted for about 2 hrs. Dark red and blue fruit, currant, mint and fresh flowers. Powerful yet elegant. Mr Carpenter made something special at a reasonable price point. — 9 years ago

Another succesful Vinolus.

I really like this wine. Opens up beautifully to reveal dark chocolate and dried fruits - almost raisin-like flavors. Really enjoyed it. — 8 years ago
