Brilliant balance of bright fruit and velvet texture. It pops, yet is ohhhh so silky. Vivid color. A blend with cab and Merlot from Napa isn’t that exotic, but a Merlot led blend being the top showstopper cuvée is! Rare and beautiful. Blackberry preserves. Interesting that as clean, clear and bright it was, It threw a good deposit. Best in about 5yr. — 3 years ago

Amazing dark ruby color, cork fell apart, so I quickly decanted, but lovely complex Cabernet fruit, still quite structured, a bit tannic, medium-long finish, great older Cal Cab. This was Markham’s first Yountville Vyd Cab, and I was told it was one of the first Bob Foley Cabs he ever made. Will last easily another 10-20 years!! — 5 years ago

Great depth of color with no variation, wonderful aromatics, perfectly balanced components with just the right tension and tannin keeping it steady from start to finish. Fruit pushed through on good scale — 8 years ago

Last vintage of the drought, and it really comes through in this wine. Not as extracted as you’d think but perfectly concentrated notes of dried cranberries, vanilla, anise, blackberry, and pencil shavings. Extravagant in the mouth with mature tannins, cocoa raspberry flavors. Love this vineyard. Rugged site produces such pretty wines. Went excellent with our wood fired pizza. — 4 years ago
