Earth, barnyard, crunchy berries, depth and breadth envelops the palate. Layers upon layers. Plenty left to give. Fantastic offering from the Etzel’s. — 6 months ago

Fabulous. Think. Full earthy. Well you know. Everything you should get. Very special bottle for us. Wife and I where in Napa , valentines week. BTW. The best week of the year to vacation there. No crowds or traffic. We valentine dinner deep into their wine caves. 5 course tasting and meal. Band. Dancing. We won this bottle just for being the furthest travelled. Drinking an 06. That we received in 09. In New Paltz for a weekend getaway. Nov 17, 2023. — 6 months ago

Someone else said “perfectly representative of the stereotype” and they were right … great big gobs of butter and oak. 89. — 6 months ago

Enjoying this, though it’s lower tannin than you might find a cab from other CA regions. Blackberry and leather on the nose that moves toward dark chocolate as it opens up. A bit earthy but some dark fruit too. Smooth and velvety, probably not going to age better from here. — 9 months ago

Wow! Velvet, dark currants, mocha, caramel, dark chocolate, saddle-wood, underbrush, gravel, stones & elegance that only happens with this much time forward. Round acidity and beautiful balance and finish.

Stupidly good with our Tri-tip!!!

Photos of; my visits to Bodega La Rioja, their well backlit tasting bar, outside patio and large oak barrels that were assembled inside the Bodega more than 100 years ago...they’re that big and have required many repairs over the years. — 4 years ago
