Medium plus body and medium plus intensity. Fuller bodied and less herbaceous than the normal Moss Wood Cabernet. Black currant notes. I heard an interview recently with winemaker and owner Keith Mugford who said he is trying to avoid green notes in the wine and would prefer to pick a little later and err on the side of ripeness. I think that’s what happened here and probably more so the following year in 2009. Still a lovely wine. The first of 6 - next one in a year. — 6 years ago
From WF with Bonstra 7/7/18. Recommended by Keith to pair with chile con carne. Wonderful 2016. — 7 years ago
A little bit of leather on the nose. Plums and dark fruits on the pallet. A little tight, but not a problem. A hint of mint on the finish. Makes you pucker when you sip it. Good wine. Thanks Keith Soltis!
Tasted again nine months later. (3/24/18). Much less astringent. Wonderful wine! Thank you again, Keith Soltis! — 8 years ago
Kelly, Beth, Keith and Craig all loved it. 2010 AND 2013 - great balance and easy finish. — 9 years ago
Only 50 cases produced of this unique vintage. Interesting earthy type undertones with gripping tannins. Worth the experience. — 10 years ago
Powerful, dense fruit with lots of cassis and bell pepper. The flavors are integrated and I'm sure this wine will stand the test of time. — 10 years ago

Brian Benson Cellars Zinfandel - Keith Weesner Art — 12 years ago
Drinking so well and was improving the longer it was open. So fragrant and aromatic...crushed potpourri, cherry pipe tobacco and baked blackberry pie. Dusty on the palate and still youthful. Dark cocoa dusted dates, roasted plum, blackberry and raspberry pie with strong acidity and tannin. A great drinking window. Thanks @Keith Fisher — 6 years ago
2013 vintage. Serious stuff. Hunter Valley Shiraz. Bottle #1520 — 7 years ago
A little tired. Some black fruits here, but a lot of vegetal notes as well. Didn't really do so hot especially sitting right next to an 01 Colgin that pretty much wiped the cab competition right outta the park. I definitely believe bottle variation is in order here, as 97 was a pretty darn good year for Napa cab overall and I would love to see what the bottle that was aging right next to this one tastes like. Love Seavey wines, and muchos gracias to Keith for opening this one. — 7 years ago
Keith ordered this, I ended up drinking it. I ordered Domaine du Somail Mourvèdre-Syrah - Keith drank that - lol! — 9 years ago

Limited availability ... I can hook you up! Uh oh, sounds like another deal! — 12 years ago
88 mouton with Keith harding art work. The nose upon opening was sublime. As it decanted and opened, it was a bit disjointed. Has a lot of potential but at this age I think it’s not going to come together. The nose weakened, and the body to finish is a bit jarred. — 6 years ago
The balance here is impeccable! Sweet oak, red, blue and black fruit, plum and nutmeg on the nose. Cascading dark chocolate/Andes mint on the palate to go with ripe fruit and mocha...youthful tannins. Just wonderful. Thank you @Keith Fisher — 6 years ago
Bright, fruit driven, blanc sparkling, vibrant, zesty, and perfect pairing for most foods... — 7 years ago
Ripe black cherry, a bit of tart raspberry, green tobacco leaf and green pepper. Lovely intensity of savory/herbal with a background of fruit on the nose. Pencil shavings on back. Palate leans taut, mineral and still a fair bit of tannins. Not as polished as @Keith Levenberg ‘s bottle, but maybe in a more awkward phase with a bit less baby fat. — 7 years ago
Smooth, velevety, balanced. Delicious. — 10 years ago

Third time I’ve had this, each time I’m almost staggered by the nose. Floral and light red and blue fruits pour out of the glass. This is an old world nod being a 85/15 blend of Syrah and Viognier, and although it hints towards brooding it remains delicate and vibrant on the palate. Really pretty wine. Everything from Day I have had has been great. — 6 years ago
