This is a good wine. On sweeter side but enjoyable! — 9 years ago
Struggling to explain this cab! Intoxicating nose. Not overly rich/full.... but not thin either. Not syrupy , not dry.... sort of 'in the middle' on all counts... But yet smooth & great flavor! A bit sweet at first but after decanting = wow! Def buy again. Dana - I think you'd like!!! — 9 years ago
Lovely, deep nose! Extremely soft on the palate with nice blackberry and plum flavors. Even a little spice. Fades pretty quick for an '09 Napa Cab and isn't as bold and powerful as I would have expected. Not bad but probably $20 bucks too high in price. Wife rated it 90/91. — 9 years ago
A bit oaky on day 1, better on day 2 and even better on day 3. — 10 years ago
Restaurant had half off wine and let me get this one. Long finish that goes on for days..... Great opportunity to try a great wine! — 10 years ago
Dark ruby violet. Blackberry, graphite, and a slight herbal note on the nose. Dense and concentrated red and black fruits on the palate with prominent, chunky tannins and long, gravelly finish. Blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot fermented with native yeasts then aged 19 months in 50% new French oak. Made by Diana Snowden wife of Jeremy Seysses of Domaine Dujac in Burgundy. Would undoubtedly benefit from more time in the bottle. 14.5% ABV. $50. — 7 years ago
Bonus! We had the 2010 and the 2011. I'm going to rate the 2010 here. The nose and first sip were dark and black fruit forward. Smelled less like zin and more like a Bordeaux. Taste and finish had nice structure, round edges, and a lasting, full bodied kick. We preferred the 2010 to the 2011, which was a juicier and more fruity red. — 10 years ago
Some would say jammy, some would say fruit forward. I say amazing. I'd spread it on toast if I could. So fruity it should be illegal. — 12 years ago
Pleasant rich flavors; clean minearaly aroma; an elegant Sauv Blanc — 8 years ago
Deep Ruby coloration. On the nose, anise and cherry, berry and hints of tobacco. On the palate, plum, cherry, dark berry jammy finish with strong complements of vanilla. — 9 years ago
Incredible wine. Beautiful on the nose and a smooth velvety feel. Need to find more... — 9 years ago
Had the 2010 Roll Ranch with Christmas dinner of prime rib, baby artichokes, asparagus, roasted potatoes. Had this after a 1999 Dalla Valle Cabernet. A little thin on first sip and not a as full as the regular cuvée. Losing fruit? Energized and vibrant for an older vintage. After some time in the glass, the wine filled out and is improving. Maybe decant? — 9 years ago
Light yet long on the palette. 2012 in early 2015 went down very well. Stood up to filet mignon nicely.

Sipping Fine Wine
Light and bright Ruby, lightest CA Pinot, more of an OR color. Tons of fruit and floral aromas that meld well together. Strawberry and cherry on the palate with mild spice wrapped up in a vivid acidity package. Mild soft tannins, elegant style, medium body, lingering ending with a fruity mineral ending. Very nice! Tastes great, but a couple af years could benefit, but hard to resist if you see a bottle on the menu as I did. — 7 years ago
