@Greg Ballington It was really cool. It really feels like a departure from Napa, or at least Napa today. And the wines match that feel.

California Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Andy Erickson's history is hard to beat...Harlan, Staglin, Hartwell, Ovid, Dalla Valle and some place called Screaming Eagle. This one, while not the same notoriety as the others, still shows Mr Erickson's ability to blend an amazing wine. Not overly complicated, but great overall food wine. — 7 years ago

Beau Vigne

Cult Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Wow - although young - and burned a bit on the back end at first - after an hour of decanting it smoothed out, tannins lowered and fruit came through - Ovid-esque - glad I have some left. Beau vigne is doing it right — 7 years ago

Ovid

Experiment L2.2 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2012

Still young in the bottle and almost inky in color. The merlot in the blend softens the tannins considerably. Slightly more acidic than the standard red blend which complemented my rare ribeye cap steak beautifully. — 4 years ago

TOR Kenward Family Wines

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

9.2

Tor Kenward specialized in single vineyard CS from a few top sites, but the “Napa Valley” bottling is a blend of all the vineyards he works with. For 2014 the juice is predominantly from Melanson vineyard from Pritchard Hill, home to some of the most exquisite CS bottles in all of Napa - Chappellet, Bryant Family, Colgin, and Ovid.
Rich in black fruits but laced with red fruit freshness and elements of dusty earth, herbs, chocolate, and raisin. Luxurious mouthfeel. Broad yet precise. A refined beauty.
