My friend Robert Vaca's very impressive winery. They sell their grapes to Daou, so that explains it. Beautiful Sangiovese, full bodied, solid fruits, but not overwhelmingly so. — 11 years ago
My wife went to the Boyd Vineyard last weekend on a private tour recommended by a colleague. She liked the 2010 Cab, Oak Knoll District so much, she had the vineyard ship a case home for my birthday. extremely smooth even without giving time to breathe. Not overpowered berry or other fruit, dry but without dust on the rim. You will make a good impression if you bring this to the next dinner party invite but volunteer to open on site as you may not find it again. Just returned from a business trip to my French parent company. I did not taste anything better over there. Concerned how the 2011 will fare given how that poor year is shaping up but there are exceptions, — 11 years ago

So this wine beat Harlan, Bond, Colgin, Scarecrow in a blind tasting, scoring in the top bracket with Dalla Valle Maya. Wow! Of all those others, I've only had the pleasure of Colgin. And expert taster though I am not, I also found this comparable to that experience. Speaks classic California Cab to me - nice structure of dark red fruit followed by some cigar/tobacco and finishing with long silky tannins. I volunteer for next blind tasting of this against Screaming Eagle, Harlan, et al.!!! — 10 years ago

Very nice Cab with character. Intense nose, blackberry and licorice flavors and earthy notes. Delicious. — 10 years ago
