We had the 2012 vintage on 10/10-11/26. Black fruit and some earthy, woody scents on the bouquet. BlackBerry, plum, currant and mild spice on the palate. Fruit forward, New World, well balanced, medium to full bodied. A good Napa Floor Cab. Tannins smoothed out. Decant and ready to drink

Well balanced and inviting. Black fruits, blackberry, leather, smoke, well integrated tannins, everything you love in a Napa cabernet. This wine is great, not exceptional. Long finish that invites you back for more. My impression is mid term aging as opposed to long term.

Big and juicy, as expected. A bit hot. Not my style but the table liked it.

2012. Birfday-eve called for an ode to personal growth/groth. The first bottle opened was the 2011 Groth cab, and it sadly went down the drain. The 2012 was beautiful- perfect tannins, glass and mouth coating, not a bad way to say goodbye to 42.

Full body, smooth with hints of oak and raspberry.
