Sad to have finished my last bottle. Depth of taste, brightness of the fruit and nice secondary notes genuinely impressed me. Time to call Paul and order some more…

Needed a PnP candidate and this delivered in spades. Procured from Progeny during our 8/2023 visit at an inflated price (terrible QPR), but a one time try was ‘kinda’ worth it.

Intense floral perfumed nose, with herbal and dark fruit menagerie. Tannins and oak perfectly integrated. Not a hard edge anywhere on the palate—perfect balance between fruit (blackberry, black cherry, medicinal red cherry, Luden’s cough drops) and earthy (sage, herbs, wet rock, char, faint pine, touch of eucalyptus, forest floor) tertiary notes. Enough acid for a few more years before any downward movement on the drinking curve.

‘Just’ a rounded down 98 today, this was better than a recent ‘13 that was a rounded up 98. No brett in this one. I could easily go 99 here, but this bottle just didn’t have the ‘it’ factor that had me gushing.

Recommend a decant for sediment, though not necessary with a careful pour.

Would not hesitate to pull the trigger in the secondary market for another one at a better price.

Super Bowl wine.

2 hr double decant and ready at that point. For my palate, perfect mix of secondary and tertiary notes. Blackberry, dried blueberry, dried black cherry, black licorice, fresh cut green herbs, tilled earth, wet forrest floor. Tannins in perfect harmony providing an awesome backbone for a great palate flow front to back. Slight Brett on the nose but not distracting. Long finish. This is in a near perfect spot and great balance between big Napa (15.2 AC) and BDX (earthy notes).

No need to wait any longer when it’s this good now! I’ll start finishing off my stash in the near term.

Pure fruit with nice acidity to keep it fresh and tasty. Balanced with integrated oak and alcohol. Will amazingly work with any braised meat with raisin in the braising liquid. Kudos.

Fantastic, still fresh. Brioche, yeast, and pear nose. Apple, puff pastry, honey pallete. Some oak. Satisfying long finish. Won’t get better, but probably will hold at peak for another year at least.

Very good wine. Currently volatile in its presentation. More changes over 5hrs than anticipated. Big wine. Umami came after about 3hrs followed by a super long finished. Figs, chewing tobacco nice fruit and soft but concentrated tannins.

Great wine. Peach and beeswax on the nose. Acidic but balanced on the palate. Not detecting any oak that’s not balanced. Suspect this can age at least a few more years and look forward to seeing it develop. I have been drinking a fair bit of Chave Blanc lately and couldn’t be happier to have found this.

PnP but aired out in bottle over 2 hrs. Blackberry, forest floor, cola, mushrooms, evergreen underbrush. Seemed past prime and more BDX than Napa. Good, but not as good as it should have been for the price! 93, was expecting much, much more! I’m guessing this bottle was likely off as my prior experiences were much better. Oh well, win some, lose some, drink some!

I’m learning that it’s hard for me to score these CdP-style white wines. It was fresh and tasty - but overall not a big hit with appetizers at family dinner. I may have served it too cold (2+ hrs chill in fridge). No rush - it seems the wine can age.

Surpringly, this wine has gained depth and intensity. More pepper on nose and palate. Stewed raisins and Berkshire bacon add a whole other dimension to this wine. Served with a tomato based, fish stew.

Napa 2023 - The Sequel; 8/23/2023-8/28/2023: Young and brooding, this was the most muted of the wines but was still very good. Tannins still holding this back with mostly black cherry showing through. Paired with cheese, it showed slightly more. Needs 5 years sideways before a recheck. No score.

Napa 2023 - The Sequel; 8/23/2023-8/28/2023: Less open than the 2013, but no slouch. Similar notes of red and black fruit, less boisterous fruit, but more pine forest showing. A little more oak and tannins holding this one back. Needs a few years, but don’t sleep on this one.

Napa 2023 - The Sequel; 8/23/2023-8/28/2023: Home-run wine. Hitting on all cylinders with black and red fruit showcased on a base of some early secondary notes of earth and mountain forest. My favorite of the tasting. I preferred this to the 2013 O’Shaughnessy Mount Veeder the day prior. The lower altitude Progeny vineyard shows through with a little more fruit and slightly less structure.

Napa Visit 2023: Fran, Hill, Chris & Tracy; 7/9/2023-7/14/2023 (Napa, CA): Tasted at Winery. This wine had the purest mountain fruit expression that I can recall tasting for many years: vivid red fruit, some sweetness, great structure in a smooth, fully integrated wine. At 10 years, I think this 2013 Progeny Reserve cab is at peak drinking. Alas, I bought 2018s with a plan to lay down for years and hope for similar evolution. For me, this was the wine of the week. Bravo to the team at Progeny.

Medium straw colored pour to the glass. Nose of herbs and yellow gritty fruit. The entry is quite weighted. Opulent mouthfeel, dense yellow fruit. Peach and Asian Pear, brioche, almond butter, salted caramel gelato, herbal qualities, white flowers, and ends with a lot of limestone grit and minerality. White pepper finish. Really a lot of excellent and relevant acidity given the age, but this is Veeder fruit so it is quite a bit dense, thick and tannic from the get-go. If you're holding some of these, I'd say that it has probably LOST maybe a half step from where it was a year ago. Problem for me is that I can no longer afford this wine at its current price, so future vintages of this wine are currently not in the cellar. Drink or hold another 1-2 years.

PnP, into a decanter and drank over 2 hrs, last sips were best. Ready from the start, but gained points with air.

—Veeder all the way—blackberry, black cherry, forest floor, mocha, fresh crushed black raspberry, berry compote, hint of menthol on the nose, good on open, give it 94 pts, great at 90 min, the nose was just incredible. A deep dark viscous beauty, even Mrs Geaux noticed how deep and inky this was.

This as good or better as its sister wine, the O’Shaughnessy Mt Veeder. I would love to do a side by side, sadly my only bottle. I loved this wine and yes, looking for more.

Side note—wins a prize for heaviest bottle I’ve ever encountered.

Showing great right now with plenty of tanins still at play. I decanted almost two hours but would suggest 2.5 hrs because it still took time to completely open up. Silky when it did...
