Consistently one of my favorites from James Cole. The 13 is no different. New Winemaker for the 15 vintage. We'll see if the style changes. Trained by Chuck but they've added a Wine Consultant. Interesting to see how new influences changes this wine. — 9 years ago

Nice and robust cab from William Cole! Lot of black fruits and huge tannins, great for pairing with red meats... — 10 years ago

The whole flight is distinguished and unforgettable but we came back to buy a bottle of this. It tastes like an angels breath mixed with rose petals. — 11 years ago

Brilliant ruby red, medium to full density where I can almost see my fingers through. Delicious and discrete funkiness, with exceptional vegetable aromas of tri-color bell peppers and black currant. Tastes like a young Bordeaux, very vegetable, V-8 flavous, carrot, celery, a little pommegranate. Nice flare from the middle on, showing elegant complexity, leading to a peppery finish. But quite deep and important finish, showing phenomenal balance between (commandable) structure, beautiful dark and meaty acidity, and bright fruit. Very, very educated wine, yet young. 94 pts — 11 years ago

What a unique and once in a lifetime wine. This is a blend of ten years worth of barrels from 2000 through 2009. Wine maker bill balentine kept one brl from each of these ten harvests and then blended them together and created this wine. Tiny production and extremely special this wine is so complex as it progresses across the palate. Cherries, berries, cedar, vanilla and Caramel all make appearances in this very unique explosion of flavor. So special. — 11 years ago
