I love it. Intensity off the charts, perfume and flavors full of cherries and blue flowers and toast. My wife says that it’s almost too fruity or reaching non-varietal, but as a Cali Boy it’s right up my alley. — 6 years ago

Delicious, all brioche and delight. Perhaps a touch sweet for my taste, but then I like ‘em beyond bone dry. Will be getting more and stashing it away. — 7 years ago

Awesome nose - tobacco, mint, anise(?). True red in color. Warm, sweet red pepper spice on the palate with a full velvet body. Remote red fruit to balance. Elegant and fun. — 8 years ago

I was doing a little organizing of my wine collection today and found this gem. What a fantastic find. Lots of blue fruit and spice on the nose. Silky smooth tastes of blueberries, caramel, chocolate and a hint of bell pepper on the palate. Almost perfectly integrated with a plush tannin structure and fantastic acidity. This is one of the best merlots I have ever had. Thank you Steve Reynolds. — 8 years ago

Great balance. Nice conversion Chardonnay for people who claim they hate Chardonnay. — 9 years ago

9.5

Side by side comparison with the 2013 Steadfast Cabernet by Steve Reynolds. The wines are very consistent in just about every aspect. The nose shows deep dark fruit with some hints of cinnamon. Elegant full bodied tastes of blackberries, plum and dark cherries come thru powerfully on the palate. The tannins in this wine are very silky and sleek and thus supportive of long term aging. The finish is long and luscious. The acidity of this vintage is slightly brighter than the 2013 but in my opinion gives the wine a little more character. I think this wine compares toe to toe with any Napa Cabernet out there without being a one dimensional fruit bomb. — 9 years ago
