  Purchased at auction from the collection of the winemaker who had stored the bottle at the winery since release. Solid old Napa, drinking well, but not particularly memorable and was very much outclassed by the 84’ Diamond Creek we drank next to it.

  A lonesome single hiding in a box. Lovely fruit, beautiful wine. A nice surprise, although it shouldn't be a surprise. Mid 80's was a great period for Cali cabs.

  Impressive. A tangy savoriness like you find in traditional Rioja and Brunello. Lots of cigar and leather. Bursts of rose and menthol aromas. Big tannins. It's a wild ride of a wine.

  Blind. I was all over the map on this one but ultimately thought it was a brunello.
  
  Dark plum and sandalwood with an oaky cherry finish. Shocking how useful this wine is.
