Key word is smiling - details - Boudreaux blend with 75% cab - Galloni and RP like it and thought I would procure and yes it is a baby but OMG it is damn good right now - I had Ric stuff before and it was good but this is his best of the four vintages I had

This is big bold and beautiful - it jumps at you with intensity and power and energy - and still smooth - please decant as I did for two hours

Dark purplish fruit is blowing away my nose and steering to happiness with the taste and finish - this is an old school taste I remember when I fell in love with Napa cabs - this baby will keep growing as it rest for a long time - bravo Mr Forman - and summing it up - all SMILES — 9 years ago

Wow! Stunningly unctuous, viscous, mouth-coatingly cotton candy-like, sensual experience. Hopefully you all get an opportunity to visit this exotic destination. — 11 years ago

Darker hues than I've ever seen from this bottling. Rather amber and dark. Marzipan, kettle corn, carmelized fruit. I enjoy tasting these but they always guarantee a hangover for me. — 9 years ago

2014, Enjoyed it even more than the last vintage. The nose leaves little to be desired, with dried cranberry, a yellow bell pepper-like vegetal note, mushroom, and ripe cherry. The palate features more cranberry, underripe strawberry, herbs de Provence, and a silky finish. Flowing. No rough edges, drinks really well young. Always a good bottle from Mr. Clendenon. — 10 years ago

Smelled like a field of spring clover - such precision and restraint that Mr. Matthiasson always seems to achieve, pillowy texture, and a hint of herbs on the finish. Think Steve was bang on when he said bay leaf. Holy smokes. — 10 years ago

You can't grow Merlot and Cab just anywhere in Carneros, but Mr. Hyde found the right terroir, and the results are glorious. I dare you not to like this. — 12 years ago

Mr. Matthiasson's red blend is so consistent - restrained and pure. Here, we caught a little gaminess, perhaps juniper? — 9 years ago

Nose of black fruits and plum. After breathing/ air for 1 hour this Beauty 2011 Pluribus from the Awesome Bond vineyard opened incredibly! Thanks MR C's! You know who you are. Flavors of all your dark black fruits, soft tannin and great structure! Wow in my book!! Great dinner at Capitol Grill after the Christmas Rush! This is Best in years of California Cab Blends!

1996 Screaming Eagle. Third set of reds we tried at house dinner w A&C BG and MR&GR. This wine we tried alongside the '96 Harlan out of magnum. The larger format on Harlan probably amplified its youthful flavor. We hands down loved the Screaming Eagle- supple, nuanced, like velvet in the mouth. Epic! — 10 years ago

Best $95 Cab I've tasted Y-T-D! It is way to young to drink. However already showing integration of fruit, oak, & tannins! On the nose blackberry jam, vanilla, cassis, pure sensory decadence! On the palate blackberry jam & blueberry compote with just a hint of earthiness! Well done Mr. Venge. PS decant this 2-hours + — 11 years ago

My favorite white. This wine is so tasty that Mr Anselmi who makes it, decided it was too good to be called a Soave, so he "downgraded" it to a simple IGT. Smooth and sumptuous but with a kick of attitude. Did I mention it's my favorite white? — 11 years ago
