Dinner with the man Ron who makes the wine. The 2003 CS was off the hook. Amazing integration of tannin, oak and perfectly restrained brambly fruits. Enjoy now, or age for another 20 years

Can't say enough about these guys. Perfect integration of fruit, oak, and tannin, which are all still subtly present. Pop n pour with some nice development in the glass. Perfect time to drink it, with 5+ years of life left.

Tried these guys for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Overall this is the best new producer I have tried in the last several years. Perfect balance of fruit, oak, and tannin. Old world style without the herbs and olives I find in a lot of French wines. Dry leather, bravely fruit. Medium body with a dry finish. Cool club- their reds are released after 10 years of age. Highly recommend if you want to try a Napa wine with a different style.

Precise and still angular, fruit holding freshness, restrained oak. 12 years in with more to soften the finish. Decant

'03 better than the '04. Smooth at front with a slight lingering of dryness. Very balanced and bold just like a cab should be.
