August 2, 2020 - Good stuff Maynard! The unsung 2003 come through again with this purple piece of soft tannin candy. I was worried I’d missed this wine but it delivered. Dark fruits and candied currents with a touch of leather and graphite. A winner for sure.

January 13, 2016 - Very nice, drinking really well right now -- you can taste the age a little bit, has almost an aged Bordeaux like quality while still being 100% Napa cab and very much new world in style.

May 24, 2014 - I rate this powerful giant extract cabernet a 95 because it was as opulent as a sweet tobacco river, flowing over soft bolders of spice, with chocolate eucalyptus trees above, dropping their chocolatey fruits into the river. Powerful and long finish, with very firm and approachable tannins delivering a firm, long ,yet round finish. Very impressive for an 03 Napa.
I think that the price pissed allot of people off...2 people found this helpful Comment -
