Excellent qpr! Upon opening, it’s somewhat subdued but half an hour later, wow! What happened?! And with food, roasted red meats, hard cheeses, grilled vegetables, it really comes alive! This is as good or better than cabs costing 2-3 times as much. Great daily drinker!! — 6 days ago
2018 vintage with homemade pizza on 7/11/25. Really really good wine!! — a month ago
Classic Napa cab. Constrained fruit, mellow tannins, good structure. Beautiful cassis notes. This bottle was a gift. After looking up the prices I was pretty shocked. Totally not worth North of $150. — 3 months ago
Lovely wine but could pass for a hearty sauv blanc — 3 days ago
Aging has its benefits as this is 6 years old and smooth. Good fragrance and cherry. August 2025. — 10 days ago

Pristine bottle so much power and life left and still fruit definition. Drinks like first growth Pauillac. What a special era for Napa wine. — a month ago
