March 28, 2022 - Top notch appellation cab that I liked best in the first hour as the fruit, body, and mouthfeel peaked early. Still very good over the rest of the night and on Day #2 but lost some of the richness.Great fragrant nose. Sad this was my last!
August 4, 2021 - Not going to rate. It started nicely and then totally shut down. Didn't get a chance to experiment with how to get it to open up since at a party.
February 13, 2021 - Great price on an outstanding Napa cab blend! Loved the rich fruit, spiciness, chocolate.
September 10, 2020 - Outstanding! A great classic cab with strength. Huge value for the price. How much more can we get??
June 28, 2020 - Didn't decant it long enough and was a bit too cold initially. Was opening up nicely after 4 hours. Nice purple and red fruit. Solid mouthfeel and finish. Not very complex yet. Good QPR with more age or long decant.
June 13, 2020 - It has been about 8 years since Jeff Ames has made a NVD for his label. This is drinking well at present, medium body, rich fruit - black cherries, black currant, round, smooth
December 22, 2019 - Excellent! intense, charcoal, chocolate, dark fruit. Quite great value at the price point.
