4/21/2024 - Franken Berry Likes this wine: 91 pointsDrank this after the Crocker cab franc blend, since the cab franc is sourced from the latter vineyard (I think). Vinnut nails the descriptors and the blend, although I prefer the more juicy cab franc heavy Crocker & Starr |

4/3/2024 - Vinnut Likes this wine: 91 pointsDeep, dark garnet, inky, opaque in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of earthy/dusty notes, spices & herbs, some mint notes, mocha & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, plush, ripe fruit flavors of sweet cherries, mulberries & cassis with spices, herbs, minerals, cocoa & a hint of oak/vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present but should develop further with additional aging. However, it does seem as if it was meant for near to mid-term drinking. A blend of 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, 8% Syrah & 5% Petit Verdot. A lovely & enjoyable Red Blend! |

12/28/2023 - pconnor62 Likes this wine: 70 pointsWe drank this between an '06 Snowden and an '07 Chappellet at Christmas dinner with Prime Beef Tenderloin smoked and then reverse seared on Big Green Egg. Opaque deep purple with aging rim. Tannins well incorporated. As a blend, it wasn't as big as it's bookend cabs but accompanied the beef tenderloin well. |

6/2/2023 - WyoWino Likes this wine: 93 pointsI love the nose of this wine. Very dark berry, blackberry/dark cherry, with hints of chokecherry. Very nicely balanced across the palate with a nice lingering finish. I wished I had more of this. It went well with steak but truly think it would shine with a cheese platter. |

2/3/2023 - bens275 Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis was much more complex than I expected at this age. Rich fruit flavors (mostly dark berries, plum, cassis) with some notes of roasted herbs and toasty oak that was noticeable but not overbearing. The tannins are very well-integrated even at this age. Perhaps only a little thin on the mid-palate at first, it put on plenty of weight after a couple hours. Drink within the next 5-10 years. |

1/3/2023 - GalenP Likes this wine: 90 pointsDrank two bottles of this over the last week. The first had a 90 minute decant and that was too much. For me it was much better as a pop and pour. Drink up! |

12/13/2022 - Vinnut Likes this wine: 92 pointsSubsequent notes on this wine from two years ago. Deep, dark garnet, almost opaque in color with no signs of aging. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, spices & herbs, mocha & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of sweet cherries, mulberries & cassis with spices, herbs, minerals, cocoa & a hint of oak/vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present & has the fruit & structure to develop further with a few more years of additional aging. |

10/7/2022 - Cow Town Likes this wine: 91 pointsAnother out of .375. All have seemed oddly aged. Not bad, but just surprising. Notes of plum and maybe even stewed fruits, it comes across as more right bank than CA. The sweet oak finish give it away, but makes me wonder if it's the wine, of just my bottles. |
