Well, I fired up a couple of fullblood waygu fillets for tonight (and Vanessa made a KILLER polenta), so the competition was tough. This is a terrific cab nevertheless. Classic nose of black fruits, violet, cedar, and black currants with a hint of leather. Not as tannic as I was expecting, but still had enough backbone to keep it interesting. If you have this, I’d suggest waiting a couple of years, as I suspect it will be more interesting once it starts acquiring more secondary flavors. Still a terrific cab! — 7 years ago

Body, structure with 10 years at least potential per Vanessa (Winemaker). This will be something (it is already something actually). Love bouquet and tannin balance. Aging will likely develop amazing complexity. — 7 years ago

Big rich full bodied wine! Wow after 14 years it still needs more time. If you like deep dark fully extracted fruit that possesses chocolate, plum, blackberry flavors like I do, then this is your wine. Good luck finding a bottle..... @Paul Treadway @Evan Bienstock @leon egozi @Eric S @Eric LaMasters @Jacqueline @Vanessa D @Carl Fischer @Jim Trobaugh @James Parker Huston, CWE @David L @Warren Sapp @TheSkip @Terri Walker @Terri Walker @Warren Sapp @jesus g @Kimberly Anderson — 8 years ago

This wine is insane. Nose is an absolute assault of clove, cardamom, incense, menthol, and, most prominently, a freshly unwrapped piece of grape Bubble Yum (which I suppose no longer exists). Palate is completely disjointed, with intense dark fruit, loam, asphalt, and licorice. Great restaurant. Vanessa has lost her mind over it. I was actually quite lucky to get any wine at all, as McCusker insisted that everyone working in the restaurant down to the dishwasher should try some. — 7 years ago

This is an excellent example of honey, vanilla, toasted brioche, and very elegant body. Refined bubbles reminiscent of the Dom Ruinart.

Please make time to get a tour from this wonderful gentlemen. Jesus you have an inviting personality that is old school in every way!

Also refreshing from producer Eric Kent seven Jan block without the grassy nonsense or the price of a rich Sancerre, I could drink this all day — 11 years ago

A very beautiful wine from a difficult vintage - long, wet spring; short, hot spring and botrytis in even some cooler coastal vineyards. Bright, dark currant/cranberry and white pepper. As it opens, mid-palate brings the more heady meaty character. Nice job, Vanessa! — 11 years ago

Part of a bunch of older JPs that Vanessa found, this is awesome. SO much better than when this is first released, this has a subtle complexity to it that makes it seem more like a fine white wine than beer. Fantastic. — 7 years ago
