Trying it again with more attention. Last tasting was at a party and it was the last wine. Old, old wine. Pretty rusty and old looking. Smells like old books and cooked berry products. Flavors are more interesting. Some complex berry notes. Dusty cherry. Strange mossy or forestal thing in the finish. This is pretty interesting stuff. Probably an amazing vineyard that is making $500 bottles now… — 3 days ago

I have never had a bad bottle of BVT in any vintage 15+ yrs in bottle. Likely $28-$30 on release.

Dried red fruits, baking spices, cedar, Price Albert tobacco, coco nibs, stewed tomato and leather. Maintains good acidity with softened tannins. A bit past its prime but still drinking well.

Perfect wine for watching the Las Vegas Grand Prix! — a month ago

I purchased the 2015 and 2016 on release for about $20. To me it’s one of the best entry level Napa cab money can buy. And in great vintage like 2016, it punches way above its weight.

It opens with a vibrant bouquet of ripe blackberry, cassis, and a hint of fresh mint. On the palate, the sun-drenched, dark fruit flavors are beautifully reined in by a core of fresh acidity. Supple tannins and notes of vanilla and cocoa round out the finish.

Will have another 8-10 years drinking window. — 2 months ago

Nicely developing sous bois, this has softened and much into the savory side — 17 days ago

I adore this producer & their Sauvignon Blanc- this has an elegance & lightness of touch elevating the varietal. — a month ago

Delightful, well-balanced SB. Green apple, freshly mown grass, and the faintest green pepper. A bit of minerally zip like a light rain on gravel. — 3 months ago
