My first 2017 of this. This one has more tannins than others. Still great, but will be even better after awhile. 92 - 93 — 3 years ago

Big, rich, fruit forward, dense cab. An outstanding effort from Hunnicutt. Still very young but approachable. Will be better with a couple years age on it. — 6 years ago

Side by side with the 2015 hunnicutt cuvee equite. Man i love both these wines! These are 94-95 pts for me all day long. Both lush, dark fruit. The hunnicutt is a merlot based wine but it is right there with the big boy cabs. Scarlett is all about the sweet fruit where the hunnicutt has more spice. — 7 years ago

This is a phenomenal Chardonnay. Super well balanced, great fruit, absolutely lovely. My wife told me to buy three more cases. That may be my new rating scale. ;-) — 3 years ago

You know, when I coravin’d this last night, I thought the tannins were pretty strong and dominant. Today, I opened this up and coravin’d 2016 napa cabs from hunnicutt and quivet for a blind flight. Surprisingly, I thought this was very accessible and tasting the best currently. The quivet was the softest and also drinking nice. It tasted like a mike smith wine but less fruit forward than the majority of his wines. The hunnicutt was pretty powerful and I think needs some time or decanting. It will be really good. — 5 years ago

93-94. Too bad they aren’t making more of this as realm is replanting the farella merlot to cab. I just love this vineyard for merlot. Blend it with kenefick cab and you got a winner. — 6 years ago

Lovely story here at Reverie II. Grant Long, winemaker for Aonair, Blue Oak, Jack, and others, purchased the original Reverie label/brand from Diamond mountain after the owner sold the property. All current grapes and barrels were theirs and they moved their estate on the other side of 29, just down the road from Hunnicutt and re-branded as Reverie II. BEAUTIFUL new spot! Views are amazing. Part of the Aonair team left to now run this, so we knew before we showed up that it would be a great time.

Reverie II focuses on some unique wines...their white is a Marsanne Rousanne, and their reds are Tempranillo, barbera, Cab Franc, Cab Sauv and a special Reserve Cab Sauv. While all were enjoyable, this barbera was incredible. Totally blown away. Pinot-esque with the cherry and cedar notes, but the finish had the smallest hint of blackberries and blueberries. Acidic and wonderfully balanced. A must stop visit, if for the views only! — 6 years ago

Another rock star beckstoffer george iii! The hunnicutt version has the spice and is more lively at this point (also a 2013), but this myriad has darker fruit and flavors that last a while. So opulent and kick ass. These 2 wines are 2 of my favorites wines. It's splitting hairs. Both are so special but so different. — 6 years ago

Zin flight. Venge was fave actually. Venge, turley bedrock, gallo, and chase were all pretty similar stylistically and relatively restrained than the other 2 (hunnicutt and b cellars) Hunnicutt was very ripe, giant nose, a little hot, but tons of flavor. It needs air probably. The b cellars was softer than the rest with a little vanilla. — 7 years ago

Side by side against the Hunnicutt Brinkman (GIII fruit), Bevan’s blend was more fruit forward, a little richer and more dense. Raspberry and blackberry morphed into a darker, slightly earthy finish still with pronounced fruit. Less complex than the Hunnicutt but still a great bottle of wine. Really hard to go wrong with either one. — 3 years ago

As @David T said, this has bigger tannins. Cab lover’s merlot. Enjoy the tobacco and leather balanced with the generous fruit. This is a fun one-off one for hunnicutt. Good value. — 5 years ago

95-96. Compared to the hunnicutt last night, this is more fruit forward with a sweeter softer glycerine profile. Dark red fruit/ Blackberry/cassis/spice/slight hint of cocoa. Both great wines. — 5 years ago

Going to macauley, hunnicutt, b cellars tomorrow. Thought we would try venge tonight to round it out. I don't have them next to me but think it's like a blend of the 2013 (structure) and 2014 (fruit) — 6 years ago

I'd give it to the hunnicutt for pure flavor right now, but this has the stuffing to age — 6 years ago

Much more accessible and fruity than the '14 hunnicutt 935. The hunnicutt will improve over time but this is drinking well right now (but still will benefit with a few years) . the bone ash is more of your opulent cab compared to this. 96-97. — 6 years ago
