Great for a Tuesday dinner when a 750 is a bit much when the Mrs does not want wine. Good color, nice nose, and easy finish, it was perfect wine for one with lamb lollipops this evening, cheers and to deep powerful reds in 2017 coming into their own.

This is my favorite Vitner, this particular bottle in our opinion was a little pasted its prime, still exceptional, great nose, deep color, rich in tannins, with a strong finish

Wife loves cab franc, this is the first Davis one we have, subtle nose, fruit forward, some tannins. We are looking forward to future wines as we joined their club in October in our last visit to Napa. Their property is amazing and Luba that took care of us was a pleasure.

Back to the wine, still to early for a recommendation but we are hopeful, cheers to all

I was able to have one glass, it's a decent red for the price and for being a twist top, others at house consumed the remainder

After 12 years cork was dry and fell apart at time of removal, strained and decanted for two hours, wine was excellent, dark color, plenty of tannins it had lost some of its boque, if you have some it's time to consume

How disappointing it was for us, we decanted for about an hour and the wine never opened properly, lots of alcohol from the start, almost a nonexistent nose, we waited an additional hour with anticipation and it then turned to jammy. This has always been a remarkable wine. We hope this bottle was an exception and no one else has the same experiace.

Date night with my bride, opened and aerated and placed in a decanter for close to two hours while I cooked. At first sight nice color, soft but elegant nose. Silkish flavor, just the right amount of tannins. Lots of flavor, true Napa cab, still enjoying as I memorialize this drinking mote, cheers

great color, bouquet, finish was a bit short decanted for three hours. Waiting to enjoy a bottle a year for the next eleven years on November 1, to compare, should improve with time

- Medium forming legs. It's balanced and has flavours of black pepper with a medium/full body. Satin-Like texture with a medium finish - Excellent wine, dark velvet in color, wonderful aromas, nice legs, good body, not to complex definite Rubicon product.
