July 1, 2021 - Super smooth dark berries on the palate, touch of cedar on the finish. This was an incredibly good, quality Napa Cab. We feel very special our friends shared it with us. Wow.

February 7, 2021 - 375ml-Purchased from winery last month- 5 hour decant which was necessary. Still a massive wine that’s no where near its prime. Potential is certainly there but this was closed for business today. Revisit 2023

December 8, 2017 - Fantastic wine full of big black fruit and muscle. With that being said, Philip Melka makes sure this isn't just an overblown Napa Cab. So much structure to this wine that it evolves beautifully. Drank this after Thanksgiving dinner and so glad I have half a case left. Roy does things well. I even enjoyed their '11's which weren't even a good year.
