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. — 5 years ago

Wow. This is so interesting (in a good way). My first Cali Malbec and my first Mt Brave wine. I gave this about 2 hours in a decanter and it’s just starting to open up. I’m getting a lot of red fruit and highly aromatic floral on the nose. The palate is lighter than I would have thought from the nose - it’s more medium bodied and has a lot of acid. The tannins are present but soft. Great fruitful and bright finish. This is super cool and I dig it. Chris Carpenter does it again. — 8 years ago

Taste a little pepper, coffee with a hint of berries. A little dry on the pallet. Not bad for a 6 year old! — 10 years ago

25 year anniversary of this wine. I have been a Peter Franus fan for a long time. This zin is medium ruby, black and white pepper, clove, cedar, red cherry, vanilla on the nose--the wood is definitely pushing through, but not overpowering. On the palate, more blue/black fruit emerges, blackberry mainly. Tannins still pretty dry, alcohol high. I think this can rest even longer but it's great now too. Awesome!!!

This is an extremely unique Pinot. A good berry, red cherry nose, but an extremely dry, old, taste. Can't really place it but a delight to drink! — 10 years ago

60% Cab Franc, 25% Cab Sauv, 15% Merlot. Rich blackberry and blueberry, minerality, pronounced fruit with nice acid balance. Tannins integrated though reemerging after 2 hours before settling back. A delight. — 12 years ago
