A nose of some red fruit and some spice, garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, plum, some spice on finish, expected more. www.winelx.com

Great bottle! Drinking very well right now. Not super complex, but just a very well-balanced cab. Paired great with a grilled ribeye.

Splash decant, drank half the bottle over 2 hours. This wine has great Napa cab dimensions and is drinking well, albeit young. Tannins are semi-firm, sleek red fruit.

An excellent bottle of wine. Nice color, full-bodied, dry, with tannins that were smooth. Long taste. Pleasant finish.

Six months since previous tasting/note. This has "entered the window," as the saying goes. Very nice. Glad to have a couple left. D/H.

Opened the day prior (Vacuvin’d overnight). The color is what Bevan calls “bull’s blood”. Plum skin, dark raspberry Fruit Roll-up, chaparral, spicy cocoa, sea salt, and subtle forest floor. Dry, satiny palate, with nice, lingering acidity. Very full (and somewhat firm) tannins on the longish finish.

This is still youthful, but it’s got amazing structure and very pleasant spiciness. Would have purchased if prices hadn’t increased mid-vintage.

w/PK
med plus ruby. Intense nose. tightly wrapped cassis, hints of dark green pepper, coffee. Elevated tannins, acid, alcohol. Great extraction. Medium plus tannins - a bit bitter-chocolate. Decently long. Feels like a solid cab, not overripe, good aging power.

Upon uncorking :The nose is hints of green pepper and nutmeg. It had great bodying viscosity and gave you a buttery umami feel on the palate. its tannins were not overwhelming but present in the background with plenty of fruit upon tasting. The finish was well rounded and tasting it a day later we noted the tannins were still present but softer.
the first evening we paired it with Lambchops and broccoli rapini and it was a near perfect accompaniment. The second evening with slow braised stew with veal stock and was perhaps a bit more enjoyable.
The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like fig, plum, light toast, green beans and bell pepper. The body is full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Dark cherry and blackberry on the nose and palate. Lots of i]oak, but not overbearing. Needed about 90 minutes to soften and open up. Drank over 2 nights and it was fantastic both nights. A lot of sediment, so I recommend decanting.

Pop and pour due to traveling, drank half the bottle over 2 hours. This was impressive, with bright fruit and a savory plummy finish. This has gained interested since my previous bottle in 2021.

Dryer and more acidic than we previously tasted. Needs more bottle age or open time in future.

Drinking beautiful right now, great value. Super rich in sweet fruits and a hint of tobacco on the nose, well balanced on the palate, with an almost sweet finish, enjoyed it with a homemade charcuterie board with plenty of richer cheeses and meats and it paired very well. Wish I had more of this!

A really nice Chardonnay from Napa with an excellent QPR. Medium bodied, bright fresh fruits and a decent length. I could drink this every day! 3.8 stars.

Perfect time to drink. Notes of black currant and dark fruit. Needed about 30 minutes in the glass to reach full potential. Nice and smooth through the finish

Don't you love when you stumble across wine in your cellar you forgot about? I bought this in 2019, I won't tell you what I paid for it but WOW, what QPR!? We all know Atlas Peak is known for their Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and this does not disappoint. On the nose, black fruit, with hints of pepper. The blackberry, currants, vanilla hit mid palate and even though it's 15.8 ABV you wouldn't know it. Nice complexity and long finish with medium acidity.

Curious in light of the 97 rating from Suckling. Dark ruby fruit - currants, blackberry, and dark raspberry. Smooth mid-palate with decent depth/concentration - medium/medium plus body. Nice flavors of cassis, some spice, oak, and a mineral/graphite component. Fairly long finish. Decanted for five hours and drank over a couple more. Improved a little with time. Revisited on day three and it was better as it opened-up further. Obviously really young and some improvement is expected with more time but I don’t see the 97 rating - hopefully more time proves me wrong. In my opinion, the 93+ and 94 ratings from Dunnuck and WE make more sense. According to Dunnuck, give it three to five years which I can’t argue due to the improvement on day three and the mountain fruit source on Atlas Peak. A solid cab at $79 in the secondary market but interesting price disparity with the Winery direct price. 100% cab.
