Totally awesome but not for everyone. Massive wet river stone minerality and dried tropical fruits. 2013 was the Napa earthquake tossing and apparently upped the oxidation. A beautiful deep deep gold color. — 8 years ago

Stellar! This was a recent earthquake sale purchase being recommended by a friend. I feel like I should have paid triple for this quality. I love it! Rich, complex and earthy. You'll always want to drink this bottle last as it will win all the races. — 9 years ago

This Michael David Cabernet Sauvignon is one step below the earthquake series. For this 2010 cab it needed to breathe a little before drinking. Once it opened up it was very tasty and full body. The bottle is less than $20 & is a good buy. — 11 years ago

"Earthquake wine" - always grab a bottle if I see it somewhere. Fruit bomb with decent structure that is improving year on year. Great winery in general — 8 years ago

Wine is a journey. This bottle survives the earthquake last year. It landed in pool of wine from some broken bottles that had ejected from the wine cooler. Glad I could share this 375ml bottle tonight w/ great friends who had similar experiences.

Black and blue fruit seems like it was simmered at low temp and then captured in this elixir. Deep purple color and evolving tobacco leaf and menthol aromas mingle.

French hard candy turns seconds into minutes as the sweet compote flavors linger. Enough buoyancy from the acidity plays a supporting role.

Fun to reconnect w/ this wine again. — 9 years ago

A flagship beauty from one of Napa's long-standing family wineries. Their historic old winery (originally built in 1886!) is a true Napa landmark. Badly damaged in the earthquake, our fingers are crossed and our glasses filled & raised for a speedy recovery. — 10 years ago

funk on the nose, fun on the palate. first vintage was in barrels when the earthquake hit, made quite a mess, everything remaining was blended together to great success. can't find any information on this vintage, but it looks like they stuck with the just-mix-it-all-together program that nature forced on them the year before. all of the purchased fruit is organically grown and fair-trade. wonder if he knows louis-antoine luyt. — 10 years ago

Today I am trying the 2012 Trefethen Chardonnay. After the earthquake they recently experienced and the damage they suffered I thought I would like to try their wines. I am pleasantly surprised and enjoying this Chardonnay. The aroma is wonderful full of pineapple, lemon, other citrus notes, butter cream and white flowers. On the palate I get nice lemon zest, peach, mild butter, good minerality, medium + acidity and a good long lingering finish. This is a well balanced Chardonnay and bought at $26.99. — 10 years ago

Nose of dark cherries and berries, with plum. On the palate plum and dark cherry combine with spice, earth and oak. Medium body with smooth velvety texture. Nice long chocolaty finish. Love this Pinot. On par with Miramars chicks run and earthquake block, my favorite. — 10 years ago
