Wow! Deep purple in color. Aromas of smoke, black fruit and minerals. Loads of blackberry, black currant, plum fruit with a black licorice and herb finish.

Rodney Strong might be on the way back up. This is their Alexander’s Crown 2013, cabernet sauvignon . I picked it up for 60 bucks. Retail is usually 80. I would not pay that for it, but for 60 its not bad. Honig for 40 is better. Thwre is oak and spice and everything nice. It is dry and mouth watering for more!!! — 6 years ago

Very ferrous and tangy. Burns the throat somewhat as it goes down. Im not so sure its worth 120 dollars a bottle. I like it, but I wont buy it again. Its not as good as 80 dollar Grgich Hills or a 40 dollar Honig nor anything that Orin Swift makes over 50 dollars. Okay.. the rating: Dark fruit on the initial palate with blackberry and raspberry. The mid palate brings on the tart bite of iron and dryness. There is also spice and Pepper. The finish ends dry and leaves no sweet nor bitter aftertaste. — 6 years ago

I have to say, it was a marvelous wine. 40-60% of the fruit in this fume blanc comes from their To Kalon vineyard, and it definitely shows. Beautiful tension, ample acidity, great complexity, some pyrazine aroma (not as much as the Honig) and very French in style. This wine pays homage to Robert Mondavi standing up with the greats of France. I guessed southern Napa 2014, so not too far off there! — 6 years ago

Speziell, riecht nach Honig & Gräser. Schmeckt hinten nach Holz. Dennoch sehr süffig. — 6 years ago

The fruit is still shining from this wine. The tannins had mellowed out and the texture was gorgeous. Perfect with grilled flank steaks. — 7 years ago

Vine Cliff Winery 2012 napa valley cabernet sauvignon. Overall impression: enters palate thick dissipates with a slight tart finish. I better eat some chocolate to enjoy this one. It is an excellent cab dont take me wrong. Lots of perfume on the nose. Big dark fruit on the beginning tapering off to a bland slightly tart and very dry finish. No spice. No chocolate. No earth. No substance in the middle or finish. A very shallow wine. For the same price, Honig blows it away! I do like it though. High end Restaurants could sell this for $18 a glass. Just not worth the price when wines like Castello de Amorosa and Honig are out there at the same price — 6 years ago

Had at Berns. Of three wines Steph likes this best( others Honig Cab and Keenan Merlot). Fruity but smooth with solid finish that brought out licorice and different flavors than initial taste. — 7 years ago
