Woodsmoke herbaceous nose, white pepper, leather, lovely morello cherry note. Warm palette, supple, tart fruit, high acid but balanced by savory tannin. A subtle oak finish. Tremendous value. Tremendous wine. — 10 years ago

It has been sitting there waiting to be drunk. Wow! Tight as hell on opening, really opened up nicely. What a nice Zin. Spicy and nice tannins. Worth the wait. — 11 years ago

Jordan is always good... Thinking it would have been better with a steak than the Chicken Parm at Runway 84... Thank you Ralph and the crew from Las Olas... What is better than Thursday night at this place... The chick from Mob wives by the bar taking pics... Chicken Parm and a good Cab... Ahh.... Youth is waisted on the young!!! — 12 years ago

This one is all about complexity and integration. Violets and cedar fly around the glass. A seamless palate of raspberries, cherries and plums . By no means is this wine near the end of its life. The best QC I have tasted. — 10 years ago

My favorite rose every year. The light color belies the depth of flavor here, with gobs of strawberry, watermelon and lively acidity. — 11 years ago

From 3litre. In great shape continued to blossom over length of hours. I was impressed by the condition and taste. How many times do these turn out to be crap? I say 1 in 20 from my experience are great — 11 years ago

2011. Was worried about the vintage and youth, but blown away by how complex and lively it showed within 5 minutes of opening. Layered cherry and dark fruits. More of a classic Bordeaux nose versus a traditional CA cab. — 10 years ago

9.5

A classic Napa mouth feel from a vintage that got overshadowed by the 1982 and 1985 vintages. 30 years later it is in perfect shape. The fruit has faded to the brown range and shows complexity you can't buy at the wine shop. — 11 years ago

A surprise. Bright fruit flavors rounded out with subtle herb and earth notes. Beautiful full mouthfeel. Did not overpower the Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Pomegranate Sauce (The Wine Lover's Cookbook by Sid Goldstein) — 12 years ago
