Very well made wine. Round flavors, long finish. Can feel a bit of the alcohol on the palate. Perhaps will integrate more with time. — 8 years ago

2012 vintage - Raspberry nose. Starts with tart fruit, then pepper and cedar with a silky finish. Nice acid lingers along with the return of tart fruit. A lot going on with this compact Pinot. — 11 years ago

9.2

Young nose on fruit aromas with spices, oak, but all well integrated. On the palate it is also pretty young, balanced and air did improved the wine, especially to make disappear the dry finish and heat the finish showed at first. Then, so beautiful with fruit flavors, spices, tobacco and just a hint of cedar wood. Excellent (92)

Tasted at a dinner with wine “buddies”

Blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. Was aged in 100% new French oak. Alcohol level of 13,5% — 12 years ago

9.2

Heavily scuffed label that it is impossible to identify the vintage.

Bricked purple. Opaque and non-transparent. Widened rim.

Dried black currant, herbaceous, dusty red soil.

Great traditional Napa structure - medium high acidity, medium body, harmonious tannin, dry. Amazing pedigree of a wine. Black currant, blackberry, dark cherry. No trace of stewed fruits or overripeness.

This is the traditionalist's dream wine. Fresh, no over-extraction, sensible oak barrel usage. Long lasting and classic. 92. — 9 years ago
