I was so close to opening some 2016 Beast today, but went old schoolLovely yellow hue opens up a powerful nose filled with dirt, grass, rice, and honeysuckle. The palate proceeds to get smothered with a perfect amount of oak coupled with honey and lemon. A mildly tart finish makes this the perfect summer white. Great recommendation by the local rep and Happy 4th to everyone!....a mid-dinner update....massive green apple comes through with food! — 9 years ago
This is more refined the second time around. Pulled a few fun bottles and this has gotten to a place that it's beyond the simple side. Leather, dark cherries stand out on the nose. Dark fruit on the palate is sitting beautifully. Tannins still slightly aggressive but it was enjoyable. I'd still pick this as a Cabernet blindly. Wish I would've bought more! — 9 years ago
Awesome right bank of merlot and cab franc! Tannins softening! Long aging potential — 10 years ago

Great bottle from @MFV_Wine. Brings back the memories of Tucker and family on Katie's 21st! — 13 years ago
A blend of 77% Cab Sauv, 13% Merlot, 7% Syrah, 3% Petite Sirah & 1% Cab Franc, deep Ruby with aromas of rich ripe berry fruits, cedar and earthy herb spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry and plum, with cacao, tobacco and oaky notes. Nice balance, soft chewy tannins, long finish ending with creamy vanilla spice and cedar character. Nice value! — 6 years ago
A tasty Napa Bordeaux blend, well made, slightly high toned and pushing the acidic side of the spectrum. That’s said, was quite enjoyable, but there are certainly others that are at least comparable if not better at this price point. — 6 years ago



En Magnum. Nice early effort from @Mike Smith - drinking very well. Still some tannic grip on opening. Nice dark fruit/plum, a bit of leather and a touch of green pepper - just enough to add character without dominating. Really nice mouthfeel as well. — 10 years ago
We really liked it. Smooth, some complexity. Super drinkable — 10 years ago
Went with the Pacific NW for the big game. Aromas and notes of black fruits, pepper, and meat. Appropriately big, powerful, but agile. Terrific. — 11 years ago
Whenever I'm looking for my California Cabernet fruit basket. Love this stuff. — 12 years ago
A delicious Cabernet off of Spring Mountain. Dense cherry and sweet vanilla are framed in French Oak with a supple lingering finish. You won't find this on at Binney's. — 14 years ago
Really big Pinot noir. Fantastic. — 5 years ago

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Black grapes make up two thirds of the blend: 56% Pinot Noir, from the Montagne de Reims and the Grande Vallée de la Marne, and 11% Meunier, from the Premiers Crus in the west of the Montagne de Reims.
The blend is completed with 33% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and, to a lesser extent, from the Montagne de Reims." — 5 years ago
Sometimes you don't want to analyze, and just enjoy. This was one of those moments. — 10 years ago
Delicious and hedonistic. Rich textures and dark fruit. Some leathery like aromas with hints of herbs — 11 years ago
Woohoo!!! Super velvet...best cab I've had in a long time for $30. Smooth throughout would highly recommend. — 12 years ago
Good, not great. Classic 2000 vintage. Nice fruit but not special. No complexity. Dark nose and dark flat fruit. No bad for the Super Bowl. — 13 years ago
