Mrs A needed a nice glass of wine after encountering a new friend in the back yard. Fresh off the truck, but seems to be every bit as good as the amazing 2016. A bargain wine from Celia Welch. — 6 years ago

Continuing with the Celia flow...sticky sweet, silky tannins with a smooth finish. In a great place right now with so much fresh raspberry fruit on the palate and a touch of spice. So good right now.... — 7 years ago

Tasted along side the 2013 scarecrow. It would be disrespectful to have scored this any less. Celia is truly a wizard of her craft. — 7 years ago

The edges have been smoothed out with time but fruit and texture still intact. Missing some acid to complement the bold flavors and extraction. My last bottle from the Celia years... — 6 years ago

From our tasting back in August. Dark and deep ruby red. Slight heat on the nose, which is expected for how young this wine is. Some nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves on the nose too with dark berries. Heavy blue and black berries on the palate with some cassis. Very ripe, extracted, voluptuous and silky. Almost seems like some tighter almost mountain berries near the finish. Fully integrated moderate tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied with a little furriness. Long and lingering finish, this wine will only develop and get better with age in the bottle. Excellent work Kerrin and Celia! Drink from 2017 till 2036. (92+) — 8 years ago

2013 vintage. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot. AVA Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley. 24 months French oak (74% new). Consulting winemaker Celia Welch. Dark red with a hint of purple at the rim. Graphite, slightly jammy black fruits, spices and flowers in the nose. Layers of dark juicy fruit, fresh acidity and a firm, but rather soft tannic structure. Mineral finish. Surprisingly generous and supple for a Diamond Mountain cab. Very good indeed. Growing in the glass. — 7 years ago

I believe this was the last vintage of the "high Octane style" before Celia Welch took over winemaking in 2010.

I expected a train wreck but was pleasantly surprised and actually enjoyed this.
No medal for subtlety here but there's a time/place for any wine. — 7 years ago

Another beautiful SB from the Keever Family and Celia Welch.

I've been a fan of this winery from day one and highly recommend people checking it out on a visit to Napa.

The wines are fantastic and the owners Bill and Olga (together with their children Jason and Ashley) are just some of the nicest folks in town. — 8 years ago

09' Keever Estate Cabernet. We are one of the few countries that follow winemakers. Guilty… I love Celia Welch wines. This is outstanding effort. 30 minute decanting. It's sexy & smooth… Butter😉. How do you not love this one! — 8 years ago
