06' Barnard Magrez Cabernet. 83% CB 12% CF 5%PV. WOW... A rare bottle indeed. This was sourced from the famous Vineyard Thorevilos (Abreu). Aaron Pott was its winemaker in 2006.

A 2 hour + on the decanting. All the elegant black fruit you can imagine in this glass. A 30+ finish. It's certainly in the discussion of one of the finest 2006's I've had out of Napa. Drinking well now & has another 20+ great years in it.

Barnard Magrez is now sourcing there fruit from Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyards. If you didn't get enough Realm Dr. Crane 12/13's. Hell… just want to add another great wine! This certainly could be a viable option(wish list). Benoit Touquette is "NOW" the winemaker😉👍!!

I'm not saying the 12 & 13's are another Realm Dr. Crane. They're the same winemaker & sourcing🤔. Just a thought... — 9 years ago

58% CS, 33% M, 6% PV, 3% CF
Slightly bricked garnet red, compact rim, more red than purple.

Pretty bouquet - red cherry, dried herbal aromas, leather, tobacco, mineral.

The palate is harmonious. Integrated tannin, med plus acidity, dry, medium bodied. Showing a lot of red fruit character, animalistic, floral. Very classic Margaux-esque character.

This wine is at the perfect drinking spot. No need at all to wait. After a solid month of full bodied, extracted Napa Cab, this is a welcome reprieve! 90. — 8 years ago

What a yummy PV. Probably could have kept this in the bottle for a bit longer. Wine was 1/3 up the cork. Lots of flavor on this one. Does not disappoint. Let it breathe. — 9 years ago

Big tannin on the front followed by beautifully balanced fruit. A long, luxurious, complex, oaky finish that will hang on until tomorrow. 93% PV 7%Cab. Sauv. — 10 years ago

Double decanted & served with dinner . Explosive nose showing black currant & mocha powder. Rich, deep palate with waves of black fruit & textured oaky spice. Plenty of youthful tannins which resolve with each bite of steak & as the wine breathes. Despite the showy fruit & tannins, this has a freshness & drinkability which is fantastic.

This has a healthy dose of Merlot blended in & a dollop of PV. From an excellent mix of top vineyards around the CV including one of Abeja's estate sources. Excellent vintage after vintage. — 11 years ago

Super solid pop n pour. Cab, Merlot, CF, PV. Nice balance and acidity. Minerality from nose to finish. Bright blue fruits and slate. Cinnamon tingle on the nose. Drinking perfectly now, but can hang out for awhile too. — 8 years ago

08' Jonata El Desafio has 84% CB 10% PV the rest CF & Merlot. All the fruit is from their estate.
At this stage no need to really decant it... 30 minutes wouldn't hurt it. Very much a fruit forward driven wine. Notes of ripened plum, tobacco, chocolate, leather are pronounced in the wine. Very few wineries this far south are producing high quality left/right bank wines. Drink them up in the next 4/6 years. — 9 years ago
