The cabernet cousin to one of my favorites. First time I have seen this. In the house style of big extracted fruit, supple tannins, and high but well hidden ABV. Would seek out again but if not there is always Blue Eyed Boy. — 7 years ago
Cab syrah. Big boy wine. Plum strawberry and spice on the nose. Dark purple and rose color. Very intense flavors. I love it. — 9 years ago
What can you say? Continues to wow...after 3-4 hours of air. This bad boy is young and needs time in the cellar. A bit green to start but after it opened up, was sublime. — 9 years ago
Wow. I had forgotten what a great NV red this is. Mostly Syrah but light and stands well on its own. — 10 years ago
Very excited to try this bad boy. Green pepper and pencils shavings on the nose. Nice smooth tannins. Long legs. Long 30 second finish. Will go great with dinner - king crab and beef tenderloin. — 11 years ago
Almost a 91. But a bit short. Peaches and dried nuts. A little on the viscous side and to be honest with you I really didn't know what to expect. Leaner towards the finish. If I saw this on a discount for $40, I'd buy a couple of bottles. Rearding longevity, I just don't think this one is getting any better in the bottle, so might as well drink it now. — 6 years ago

Oh boy! After steak wine. Pax killed it! Surprised it was so ready after 4 1/2 years in oak. Fill throttle and so nicely balanced. Will be very interesting to see how this continues to evolve. — 9 years ago
Was a great wine went well with some finger foods on a nice day at the Vinyard. — 9 years ago

Great blend by Smasne Winery — 11 years ago
Top 5 for me. Let it open up, so good! Way better than regular Caymus. Drinks like a big boy wine — 6 years ago
Bright, nice tannns and finish, earthy, luscious mouthfeel. Curious how it might develop. — 6 years ago
A five hour decant. Dark cherry and blueberries with a rub of minerals and tobacco. Just awesome — 8 years ago
Out of this world. Silky, if you're into that this G wants to be your BFF. — 9 years ago
Crushed this bad boy w/ a buddy from Back home and his comment was "oh so this is what Real wine tastes like!" Lol. Love it. — 10 years ago
Oh, boy! If we were pleased with the 1995 preceded this, then we were ecstatic with this '86 which was richer, deeper, more complex and exceeded our high expectations. — 10 years ago

Out with my boy, Mo, so old world in the house. Nose displays cow shit and cedar.
Palate is youthful. Tannins are integrated, acid is slightly out of balance - too much. Nice notes of cherry, cardamom and saddle leather. 99 wasn’t a great vintage, so under the circumstances, this is a good effort. Not going to evolve to a better place in my opinion. — 6 years ago
