Last of 14 bottles purchased from multiple sources over 7 years, with three from the library release a few years back. Always a favorite, although the early bacon fat signature has dissipated over the years. Still a nice Syrah nose of roasted meat and dark fruit, but finish was a bit thin on this auction bottle. Forgot this was 16.5% ABV, but not throwing off any noticeable heat. — 9 years ago
Absolutely stunning. Some savory, salty, sea air, with oyster, chive. Some deep notes of lemon and lime. Perfume as nose comes out of stem. Uber complex, with layers that match nose. A Meursault ying/yang of weight and acid. Thank you Jeff & Brittany!!! — 10 years ago
This estate was a spectacular find this trip! @John Boich was an amazing host and so was Jnani!
@Shay Aldriedge @Martin G Rivard @David L @Ron R @Carl Fischer this is an estate you guys need to check out, especially if you love the Rudius Wines. This is the same winemaker, Jeff Ames, same as TOR too.
Deep and dark ruby red. Dark purple floral attack with lavender and lilacs, followed with tons of savory notes. Nose finished off with some black and blue berries. Heavy tannins (8/10) and tighter than the rest of the Cabernet Sauvignons. A bit savory with dried red berries and black cherries. A little floral too. Full bodied and lingering finish. Drink from 2019 till 2040. — 8 years ago

I'd put this 2007 against a Rudius or Paul Hobbs any day. I understand your rating system and this is a 97 point wine. Beautiful, silky tannins and loads of the dark fruit we love from Napa. Nicely extracted and a big red wine. Needed 30 minutes to show its the real deal. Call Lisa Redmon to see if she has a few more bottles. Great people from St Helena. @Paul T @Martin G Rivard @Ron R @David L @Bill Bender @Jim Trobaugh — 8 years ago
Nice deep color, rich black fruit nose. Integrated tannins for a young wine. Balanced and approachable. — 9 years ago
Not as true to varietal form in scope of GSM with richer, more oak influenced from nose to finish. For the price a great value and enjoyable none-the-less — 10 years ago
Very nice! — 10 years ago
