Amazing density that lifts the sensory palate. Must try. Didnt seem like a port but a lighter amarone — 6 years ago
Yountville grapes. Only sold at winery, and sold out as of 10/1/17. Medium tannins and medium-full body for a merlot. Dark chocolate, cherry, oak, plum notes. 3 bottles left. — 8 years ago
Light and doesn't sit on the tongue too long. Summer sipper — 9 years ago

Great cork for 19 years,
I think the 27% Merlot brings the score down for me. 2002 Jones & 97 ZD reserve are a step above at half the price,
One of the flagship wines of the late Jess Jackson’s Artisans and Estates limited production offerings is the 2001 Cardinale, a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot from some of the finest Jackson-owned vineyards on Mt. Veeder, Keyes on Howell Mountain, Alexander Mountain Estate as well as purchased fruit from the Stagecoach, To-Kalon and Peter Michael vineyards. — 5 years ago
Very clean. Granche nice balance. Light but not frilly. Has substance — 6 years ago
#knifepointer great nose on this one - hints of rose petal, cassis, and mocha espresso. While spiced French oak overwhelms the tongue! Enjoyed this more than the ZD. — 9 years ago

This paired very well with a lobster risotto Christmas dinner! The Chardonnay had a nice citrus note. — 5 years ago
Not as dark & opulent as the 97 ZD Reserve. But still another very good properly stored bottle. Cork looks great for the age. A little brickish at the edges . Give it 30-45 minutes to blow off the age. Can’t put it down now, this is a 1 person bottle. Had to give it an extra couple points Parker 88 back in the day. So much better now — 6 years ago

Great, very limited release, Napa valley Sangiovese. Needs plenty of time to open up, and it's worth the wait. Dark Ruby color, light to medium bodied, with nice red fruit and firm, yet silk and well integrated tannins, on the finish. — 9 years ago
