So what do you call a Bordeaux Blend from Napa - ""The Illegitimate"! This is a fun wine. Nicely blended with up front fruit and smooth / soft finish. Has character like a classic French wine with Napa twist. Pairs well with many foods - so versatile. — 10 years ago
This tastes rather special. Despite it's young age it feels well aged. Fruity, spicy and with a hint of peat which gives a dry finish this shows what is yet to come from Box. Quality whisky. — 10 years ago
Notes of raspberries mixed with raw meat, and dry thyme leaves. Fresh raspberries and mature strawberries, velvety texture with tobacco aftertaste. Very balanced and long finish! Interesting wine, perfect for the wine explorer! — 11 years ago

Man. This, was one of the boldest Cabs I have ever had, but that was most likely do to it's young age. Made by Marco Digiulio, who also makes Raymond and Lakoya; this is an "explorer series" focusing on single AVA Cabernet Sauvignon. BIG and intense nose, with notes of fresh cracked peppercorn, charred oak, and mocha, all thrust forward by a rush of ethonol. The pallet was very dense, and still fairly tight, with high alcohol, fine grain (might I say dusty) gripping tannin, and exhibiting notes of ripe blackberries, Mediterranean herbs & spices, burnt espresso bean, vanilla/caramel, gravel dust, and an everlasting finish. I feel I needed to decant this one much longer than an hour..but overall I give this a 92 because I believe in 2-5 years, this wine will drink much more in its prime, and will be an impressive message in a bottle. — 10 years ago
Medium bodied, dark fruit, surprisingly high acid. Check one more off on the region explorer — 11 years ago
Halfway between an Austrian white with its latexy noble weight and a wooly dessert Chenin. Exciting to try and discover on weird white explorer dinner. — 11 years ago
