3/31/2024 - La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis deep ruby wine is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, aged for 19 months in French oak barriques (37% new). On the nose, it offers plentiful Bing cherry and red currant fruit that is accented with bittersweet chocolate, baking spices, hazelnuts and tobacco. Medium-bodied, freshly acidic, seamlessly alcoholic (14.5%), proportionately oaked and with medium sweet tannins, it delivers flavors mirroring the nose and has good mid-palate density. Medium-to-long and smooth on the back end, this is an enjoyable Cab that should provide plenty of pleasure throughout the remainder of this decade. Serially sampled over a three-hour interval from a bottle that had been popped and poured, it was immediately expressive but ramped up to a nice plateau after the first hour of air. Drink now-2030. |

3/29/2024 - OttawaB Likes this wine: 95 pointsGreat wine. Smooth and long finish. Dusty tannins, medium acidity. Great balance. Really nice fruit ... cherries, cassis ... on the sweeter side of the spectrum. Beautiful "Rutherford Dust" element. Really enjoying this wine. Has years to go for aging if wanted. Still 2 bottles left. |

3/12/2024 - Friganto Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis wine is well within its drinking window in 2024 so I was excited to give it a try. More than anything, this wine craves fat in some form. Carnivores, fire up a steak. Vegetarians, grab some burrata. Vegans, saute some mushrooms in your best and freshest olive oil. Just make sure this wine has something to work against. That will allow the wine to showcase its depth and complexity without being overshadowed by its tart acidity. A wine tending toward the Bordeaux style, if that's your style this is its California version. |

3/3/2024 - Les Raisins Du Aron Likes this wine: 93 pointsSmooth and medium to heavy, with blackberry and vanilla flavors. It's a bit of a fruit bomb, but very pleasurable and easy to drink. This might be a poor man's Caymus. |

2/18/2024 - Neecies Likes this wine: NRBill's. Dark, rich color, nose and palate with sweet California fruit, a little cedar and mint. Showed beautifully and was perhaps my favorite among several old California cabs. |

2/2/2024 - ValLovesWine Likes this wine: 94 pointsClassic Raymond cab, smooth start to finish. Never disappointed. Not too fruity, not to dry and a long linger. It's so drinkable and needs no food pairing although I'm sure it would pair well with a nice sharp cheddar or a dark chocolate. |

2/1/2024 - SpenceP wrote: 93 pointsIntense sweet cherries, ripe black plums, perfect blackberries, almonds, milk chocolate, flowers, hint of maybe allspice, faint background of leather, faintest hint of licorice. Gentle tannins. Lovely and very long aftertaste. Enjoyable even immediately after opening, but needs well more than an hour in the glass to be at its best (the score was significantly lower earlier). Just a lot of fun. No hurry at all, but also no reason at all to wait. [Tasted over almost two hours from the Jancis Robinson glass. The description reflects this glass and combines notes from the entire 2-hour period--at any one time, most, but not all, of these descriptors would make sense. Very briefly tried several other glasses--too briefly for it to be fair to mention them by name--and, although the wine was still enjoyable, little of the complexity was present from those glasses. I gave this bottle a week upright to allow any sediment to settle out, but I suspect that this was more than was needed.] |

1/21/2024 - Grand12 Likes this wine: 89 pointsStrong fruit nose, mostly berry . Palate is strong up front, good ripe red berry flavors. Finish does tend to Casper on you. But no harsh notes. Could be a bit more powerful with more body |
