  December 15, 2022 - Alluring and structured delivering blackberry, blueberry, spice and cedar. Not overly done, not a jammy fruit bomb but well made. Medium to full bodied, medium acidity, medium grained tannins that holding everything together. This is different in a good way than the big Napa bombers. Made by Ghost Block winery, home of the 95 points 2019 Cab Sauvignon. The wine is aged for 24 months in 50% new French oak barrels. Excellent offering at the price point. NI:4, FI:22, FC:8, B:4, L:4

  December 31, 2021 - Wines like this make me smile. A $59 bottle drinking like a much more expensive one. Slightly oaky but in a good way. Just a classy Napa Cab but balanced. Full bodied, with structure at this young age and a nice finish. Organically grown. Don't overthink this one. Just buy it and enjoy. You won't be disappointed.

  February 23, 2021 - All the typical hallmarks of a bold napa cab, inky dark/purple fruits, cassis, good mouthfeel. Bought at a sale for Sgd $80 and definitely good "relative" value for a Napa cab which is usually difficult to find. Buy this anytime over a Caymus which is overdone.
