Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruit, forest floor notes and sweet spices. On the palate ripe black cherry and blackberry flavors, with some dried fruit notes, tea, toasty vanilla oak, cinnamon spice and cola tones. Fine mouth coating tannins with balanced acidity carry this wine to a long finish. Good now! — 2 years ago

Literally one of my favorite reds. The 2014 is drinking nicely — 8 years ago
Big, jammy, and rich with some dark chocolate spice. Right in line with the other big Napa Cabs we love like Cakebread, Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel, etc. Ordered this at Sonoma. WBA — 9 years ago

Nice woody, dusty nose. Dark burgundy color. Slightly reminiscent of Cakebread but not as good or powerful. Overall, underwhelming for the price. — 5 years ago
Definitely a new world big cab blend. Heavy but very pleasant oak. Big wine, but Syrah is a nice way to balance out the heavy tannins of cab. Would definitely buy again, though pricey. Same category as Cakebread IMO. — 6 years ago
Best chardonnay I've had in years- easily beats Cakebread, bringing a lighter overall impression without losing complexity or surrendering buttery notes. BEP selection, 4/2019. — 7 years ago
Amazing Pinot! — 8 years ago
This was drank on Feb 2017 with venison, pork porter house and grilled trout after sleigh ride to 10,000' and following great Cakebread Chardonnay. Full of dark berry, wonderful taste and dry. One best pinot's I have had. Will look for what is available. Highly recommended. — 9 years ago
Amazing Sauvignon Blanc — 10 months ago
Got this at Cakebread in Napa in February 2020 for about $45. (Their tour is amazing and they're so nice there.) This red blend is just so balanced and enjoyable. Some earthy, some berry flavor. Great with grilled steak and chocolate. — 5 years ago
A toast to Rosemary Cakebread as we sit to watch season 4 of the CROWN, highlighting other incredible Trail Blazers - PM Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth II, and Diana. This cab can really go another 10 years plus, but enjoyable now with some decanting. cedar and tannins on the nose - casis and fruit on the palette. — 6 years ago
Lloyd made the rounds working at a bunch of renowned wineries, Cakebread, Stag’s Leap, La Crema & Rombauer where he gained Head Winemaker status before leaving in 2008 to start his own project, Lloyd Cellars. Fruit sourced from blocks in Sangiacomo & Truchard Vineyards, aged for 10 months in new American oak. Aromas of ripe stone & tropical fruits, citrus and blossom notes. Palate has apple, pear & peach flavors with bits of citrus wrapped in a creamy texture. Long rich finish ending with slight toasty notes. Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago
Big. Some fruit. Tight in a smooth way. Tracy preferred 06 cakebread from night before but would do it again for 40 — 8 years ago
