Touch of oak (not american) little toasty. 50/50 neutral barrels and stainless steel. Oak brings nice body to the acidity of the Chardonnay. — 10 years ago

Great natural varietals. Floral. Was harvested naturally no added water. The more natural flavors of cab sauv. Harvested wary to get the flavor is the grapes. Organic. Nice dark fruits. Tobacco leaf, blackberry earth, beautiful soft dark fruit flavors. Nice soft luscious tannins. Aromas of dark fruit, bramble and a touch of earth and dried sage. Not overly dry. Not the typical California standard. No new oak. — 10 years ago

Repressed tannic wine. Great to drink young. Doesn't need to age for more than a few years after the year. (From the wine maker) nice volcanic smoky ashy tar flavor. Nice floral tones to this wine. Aromatic. The fruit isn't jammy that has nice fruit flavors. Not too bitter. More approachable than many strong cab francs that you may typically get in Napa. Nice soft finish. — 10 years ago
Strong berry hit, followed by a smooth aftertaste with a little peppery spice. — 11 years ago

Had the 2011 vintage. Beautiful nose. On the palette: leather, dark sour cherry, a little pepper-like heat, a little sort of wet forest type quality. Medium tannins that grip just the right amount. @Paz Master try this one by the fire on a rainy night in NYC. Perfect for that — 10 years ago
