Music. Everything but Malbec. Pedigree such as David Abreu, Howell Mountain, Kongsgaard, Erickson, Beethoven Opus 111. Yeah... It's in the wine. The nose and finish are balanced, long, and deep. If you happen upon a bottle, let it settle thoroughly, unfiltered and extracted, but once "clean" it is gorgeous. — 9 years ago

Double decant through aerator into a decanter. First sip was all I needed to know this was another Andy Erickson masterpiece. This guy is a stud. Cant believe this is so young. Cant wait to taste more 12's. — 10 years ago

Ovid

Experiment No. E0.4 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2004

A delicious blend of roughly 55% Cab Sauv blended with equal parts Merlot and Petite Verdot, and finished with Cab Franc - this wine was one of the first releases from Ovid and made by then winemaker Andy Erickson. Full bodied and rich - even after 11 years. Black fruits mingle with notes of cedar followed by a long and sweet finish. This was sadly the last of my three bottles. (Tasting notes 2/3, no decant) — 10 years ago
