When drinking next to the ‘02 Jericho Canyon, this was drinking better and seemed to be in a really nice window. Decidedly more sweet fruit and integrated tannin. Nutmeg, baked mixed berry pie, cherry swisher sweets, and the whole fruit spectrum on the finish (red, blue and black). Delicious. — 5 years ago

Amazingly underrated wine. Standout in a tasting of several 2005 Cabernets. Best value wine one can purchase! Stood up to wines that were 2-3 times the cost! Delicious but came in second to Ramey Jericho Canyon. — 9 years ago

Dry, crisp, good minerality with some citrus poking in. Nicely balanced rose that's a pleasure to drink, if not on the slightly expensive side — 9 years ago

06’ Stormy Weather Cabernet. Winemaker Cameron Woodbridge, brother of Jason (Hundred Acre)
Sourced from Jericho Canyon. Ramey & Rudd had sourced it in prior years.

Blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate. A splash of blue fruits. Sweet tannins. Nice Cab. Drink them up. — 6 years ago

A wine that could not be in a better spot right now. Decanted at opening. Plush, soft aromas of black berries and plus just a touch of spice. On the palate this wine is juicy and soft, with velvety tannins and gorgeous acidity. Flavors of black plums and raspberries fill the glass around with wonderful spice box notes and just a kiss of oak. The finish seems to last forever with lingering spice and fruit notes. A truly wonderful wine. — 6 years ago
