Lush and bright with a crisp finish. Lime, green apple, kiwi, white peach and a little melon with a smattering of herbs rather than heavy pyrazines. Lots of acidity for freshness, although a bit high in alcohol, so has some body. The oak doesn’t get in the way for me, as it often does w SB — it adds to the texture and lush mouthfeel and adds a a hint of spice, but otherwise pretty classic. — 3 years ago

Inky and rich with dark cherry and sweet plum. Intense throughout, concentrated with firm yet well integrated tannins. Finish is at least a minute long. Fantastic now and will hold at least a decade. — 4 years ago

Tasted blind and the herb note I detected had me dumbfounded. It never crossed my mind it being a syrah. Nice balance and still vibrant. — 9 months ago

One of the first vineyards we visited on our first trip to Napa. This was part of a Valentine’s Day tasting they did. Partial to 2010’s because that is the year we got married, so it all worked out. Amazing wine and we can’t wait to open the older ones we are sitting on. — 3 years ago

Absolutely amazing! Drinking form a magnum. Decanted 1.50 hours. Still strong and focused. The mint is starting to hit. Sleek. This wine is on rails and rolls like a train. No need to wait any longer. — 8 years ago

Killer SB. Not much of a nose to speak of. Palate is delicate and balanced. Apples, sugar, and malt. Medium body. My current benchmark SB is the 2012 Adamvs. This was in the ballpark, but not quite there. — 7 years ago

Terrific purity in this quintessential Napa Cab. Decanted for about 2 hrs. Dark red and blue fruit, currant, mint and fresh flowers. Powerful yet elegant. Mr Carpenter made something special at a reasonable price point. — 9 years ago
