The 2018 Red Wine is a plump, juicy Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. The 2018 is not quite as flamboyant as some other recent editions, but it packs plenty of punch. A rush of dark red/purplish fruit, crushed rocks, menthol, rose petal and spice build into the intense, layered finish. The 2018 can be enjoyed upon release, but it is at its best with an hour or two of aeration. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2021)

First sniff….Napa wine cellar. Definitely decant, but afterwards smooth, silky, fruit forward and delish., with no tannins on the front or back end. All must haves as I try to get myself out the dog house with my queen. Blessed to be forgiven…the liquid heaven helps distract the frustration 🤣.

Finally shook a weeklong cold and wanted a big red with little restraint. This did the trick.

Fruity, full bodied, and smooth. Great lingering finish.

The wine we had was the Red Blend. Nice chocolate notes and rich, jammy dark fruit. Medium acidity and nice finish. Similar to Prisoner but not as bold.

A great wine for a chilly evening. Makes me think of a library filled with leather bound books.
