A tad tangy for a cab but tasty. Plum flavors dominate.

2012 vintage was very easy to drink. I think the value is there just wanted a bit more. It didn't make it to the 9 rating category for me. But still quite enjoyable.

V12. Doesn't get much better than this...fragrant leather and tobacco nose. Rich , juicy blackberry, currant, chocolate, mocha, violet fruit with a peppery, dry and slightly chalky finish. Great roasted food wine.

Rich, robust, bountiful, full, velvety. Dr. Kenefick smart enough to be a neurosurgeon is certainly smart enough to figure out the grapes. As he would say. "Salud"

Aug 4th, 2016This is my first exposure to this wine, but definitely won't be the last.....ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!! Rich dark fruit, very lush and complex. From back label, "Along the western slopes of Napa Valley in Calistoga, lie 125 acres of premium vineyard. Dr. Kenefick, retired neurosurgeon has farmed these red rock filled soils for over three decades. Kenefick Ranch wines speak of the place, the man, and his vision. 100% estate grown and sustainably farmed. Aged 18 months in French barrique."
The nose was so wonderful, I had to taste before letting it breathe....it was marvelous. It continued to improve in complexity for three hours before it made the best compliment to braised lamb chops.
