Achieves integrity and wholeness most wines miss. Bright and exceptionally pure. Has that lively quality standard wines do not have. Very high quality fruit has both dimension and tension. — 8 years ago
The nose is perfumed, black fruit, very Pinot like as it is the case on the palate, fruit is ripe for a 2014, some structure along with good freshness and finesse that go hand in hand for this gorgeous bottle that was gone too fast.
Nez assez parfumé, fruits noirs et très pinot au nez tout comme en bouche, fruit assez mûr compte tenu du millésime, structure et finesse vont de pair, pur délice. 89-90 — 5 years ago

Dark and dense color, the aroma is subtly Italian with leather and licorice but is not lively with authentic local feel. The weight and density is very satisfying, it does not feel like mass-produced, event though it is modern and very clean. It does not have the nuances and aromatic intensity to be considered excellent, however the consistency and integrity of flavor is very impressive. — 7 years ago
Tres bien mais quand meme un peu trop tendu, et pas super long en bouche. Un peu déçu compte tenu de l'appellation et du prix... — 8 years ago
Top 2-3 Napa Cabs I've ever had. Magical nose, cassis, cocoa, red flowers. Rich but nicely aged mid-palate, spreading into a wide swathe of candied red and black fruit, soft but powerful. Secondary stuff in spades. Then - an explosion at the back-end of cedary fruit and fig, tobacco, dark chocolate that lasted for >60 seconds. Just a monumental wine, sadly a solo.
This is note #500 for me, grateful to so many Delectable contributors who take the time to educate and expand my wine perspectives (or, in the case of @Bill Bender...other stuff, too!). Thanks to @Anthony Lombardi @Kimberly Anderson @Jörgen Lindström Carlvik @Jeff Savigny@Ron R@Shawn R @Richard Steinberg @Martin G Rivard (who is living the dream), @Greg Gregory among so many others, not to mention @Roman Sukley with magical reach to inaccessible, iconic SQNs (and the will to pop them) and frank open perspectives from legendary winemakers like @Mike Smith and @Cathy Corison, you all make this a neat community of which I try to be a small contributor.
Finally - a renewed plea to @Antonio Galloni to return "trending" to this community, as it was stolen by the bean counters! I'm no social media expert (I do have 2 teenagers!) but I'm pretty sure that "trending" speaks to the integrity and will to contribute of an entire community...take a look! — 9 years ago



Lovely union of age & integrity. Fruit, structure, earth, & balance. At its peak. Will last at most for 2 years. # 2 of 3 bottles. Delicious. Glad I waited. Aerated & decanted for 2 hours. Enjoyed with a 50 day aged prime sirloin steak. — 6 years ago
