Explosive Howell Mountain juice. Make no mistake this wine is big and warrants respect. Dark chocolate and cherries on the nose. Even the smallest sip fils the mouth. Incredible structure and big tannins. Inky, dark and mysterious at times....as it sits and opens up this gets bigger and richer. Just brilliant. — 8 years ago

Bright and rich red fruit, balanced and altogether enjoyable. Tadeo says this is one of his favorite wines to make and I can see why. — 9 years ago
