Rocking darkness. This is a big fella but has a surprising amount of finesse. Maybe a touch young right now. #killersyrah from #keplinger #yum — 7 years ago

Interesting project pairing U.S. winemakers with those from emerging global economies. Ntsiki Biyela, the South African half of this pairing, is a rising star and I'm dying to get her stuff solo. This one's a unique blend, at least for me: Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, with some Malbec and merlot. Rich and ripe, dark fruit, fairly straightforward but wonderfully intense flavor. — 9 years ago

This was the first wine that we brought of the night. H Keplinger killed it with this vintage. What an unbelievable elegant expression of Garnacha from Priorat. Despite the fact that it is 15.5% alcohol, it is completely masked. Soft tannins, velvety texture that feels like silk on the palate. Bravo! — 10 years ago

Amazing wine with an incredible depth of flavor. Dark berries, tea and a bit of camphor on the nose, incredibly layered and soft on the palate with black berries, bright fruits and a hint of minerality - silky smooth tannins and a long finish. This is drinking really well right now. Made by Helen Keplinger in 2010; Mike Hirby took over with the 2011 vintage (which wasn't released). The estate is hands-down one of the most beautiful in Napa. Very small production (under 150 cases). — 8 years ago

Let this warm up, don't drink at fridge temp. Textured Rose that will be awesome in a couple years. Nice backbone all the way to finish. — 9 years ago
