@Carl Fischer Christine knew that we would all get along as soon as you walked in with this beauty in New York earlier this year!!! It's one of her favorites!!! Truly A phenomenal example of a great Napa cab. This is firing on all cylinders. I still have a dozen left in my cellar and can't wait to see the evolution that they will take in the next 15 years. Winner, winner chicken dinner! Great minds think a like Carl! LOL we must've had 60 bottles of wine that night and I still remember Christine saying "I really like that wine" when you walked in the door with that bottle! LOL The entire WNH @Joe Lucca @Mike Rowe @David L @Ron R would've had an incredible time this evening. We can't wait to see you within the near future! — 9 years ago

This is big (13.7) and ripe and extracted and tannic and broad shouldered and acidity balanced. Joe makes great wines but this is one of biggest I've had. Wait a decade. The wine deserves it — 9 years ago

2010 Dylan's Ghost Stag's Leap Vineyard "Beast Blend" by Aaron Pott. Intense black fruits, cocoa and spice with good underlying terroir notes from the franc. Cozy wine for a cool night with steak and chocolate. Signed and gifted by owner Joe Carr. Thanks Joe! — 10 years ago

Joe Rochioli is a pioneer grower. The incredible nose was so compelling you didn't need to taste. Softer then Hersch strawberry notes, wonderful! — 12 years ago

@Ron R @Mike Rowe @Bill Bender @Joe Lucca @David A Lentine @Carl Fischer Pretty good but not amazing. I used to be on Joseph Phelps club list just to get access to this one. I discontinued the club years ago and stopped buying this given its high price point and mediocre taste profile. My Palate has expanded since those early days. Thank goodness!
I would not buy this unless you find it for 50% off online. Every wine we've had today has been better than this overpriced bottle.
I'm just saying, — 9 years ago

One of my favorite wines in this price range. Great flavor and very drinkable. Such a steal and value at $50. Like drafting Joe Montana in the third round. — 10 years ago

Decant a half hour. On the fruity side for a Joe Davis wine. Tannic but not spicy. — 9 years ago

Tonight, we pay homage to @Diana L and @Joe Lucca for treating us like royalty over the weekend - thank you so much.

So, it's Joe's birthday soon, and we purchased this bottle for him. But my goldfish-like brain had forgotten he already had some, so we decided to dive into it and give him some Yellow Tail instead!

In the glass, the wine appears as dark as the night. On the nose, I get maple syrup, kirsch, cinnamon and loamy earth. The palette reveals soft wood notes, intertwined with syrop de cassis and red licorice. Tannins are relatively soft and plush. The endnote is sweet and velvety. This is a great wine, but lacks something that I can't quite describe; sorry. — 9 years ago
