A highly unfortunate episode of spilling 3/4 of the bottle yielded only 5-6 oz. of juice remaining in the bottle to drink. The remaining juice was dynamite, though. Very dusty and rustic with dried cherries, cedar, tar and black pepper. Fantastic. — 7 years ago

Smooth though a tad tired. Cherries and licorice. It's a fun drink. Will blow through the rest of my case soon, as may've missed the timing a bit here. Still a fine effort, and a Merlot that was surely dynamite just a couple years ago. — 8 years ago

Finally trying Cherry Pie (from Hundred Acre). 3 different single vineyard Pinots from 2012. Stanly Ranch is dynamite (and a vineyard to keep an eye on). Reminiscent of Kosta Browne. Next up is Rodgers Creek. Darker fruit. Less explosive, but a nice wine. Third up is Carinalli. Way lighter, though some spice to it. It's fine, but doesn't hold a candle to the other two. (Thanks Mastro's in Scottsdale for hosting me!) — 8 years ago

This is a experiment Erich did; only a few barrels made; we tasted out of barrel in 2014. Blackberry tart and toasted oak on the nose. The palate is round and plush; velvet drapes of blue and black fruit. Finishes a bit short and with a vegetal edge. Black pepper lingers. — 8 years ago

Dynamite as always. Decanted for over an hour which brought out the black pepper, tar and cedar even more. — 8 years ago

This wine reminded me of the 5 great wine T's. Tannic, tannic, tannic, tannic, and tannic. Even so it's a dynamite wine. If you like Cali cab, this wine os for you. Drink from 2021-2035. #QPR #wineskylecanbuy — 8 years ago

And boom goes the dynamite! Gentle and nice suede structure on the palate medium bodied, glorious black fruits. This wine has ages to go. What a treat! Who says Tuesdays must be dull? — 9 years ago

Started out a little acidic but letting it air out really turned it around. Medium to light, nice finish, real easy going. — 9 years ago

I found this 97 north Coast Cab hiding away in my wine cellar, what a pleasant surprise! Good balance, nice fruit, mellow without losing its substance. Perfect to accompany the sunset on the Sound. — 9 years ago

Polished, deep dark juice. Mocha and blueberries. Well structured, big but pretty. Lots of finesse. Kiwi and red currants on the finish. Just getting better and better. This stuff is dynamite. — 9 years ago

Dynamite with grilled pastured lamb chops and salsa verde. A tad more fruit than funk, but quite good. Definitely worth purchasing again. Bottled w/o SO2, I believe. — 10 years ago

For the price, this is dynamite. $20 and under Cabernet is hard to make well, but this shines. Black tar, dark chocolate bark, and mulled blueberries on the nose.. Raspberry and cranberry on the palate, with a bit more chocolate with bright acidity.. Good value and a great burger wine. — 9 years ago

9.2

Dang, this 13 is a succulent wine. Young but singing like a song bird. Dense, extracted, and rich as all get out. Milk chocolate, dried flowers and black plum on the nose, fabulously rich sweet fruit on the palate.. A touch of lavender and tannins rounding out the mouth make this a dynamite wine for $30 - the best vintage of this I've had.. Get as much as you can. — 9 years ago
