Fruit on the nose and great balance on the palate. I was a little hesitant to buy this wine because I had never heard of Elizabeth Spencer Wines, and I tend to stick to what I know I enjoy. Great Napa Cab and will likely purchase again. I hope I can call you "Lizzy" now, as the lady in Virginia Beach who sold the bottle to me did.

Dark violet color. Beautiful blackberry nose, with a hint of spice. Restrained palate with lots of tannins; seems like it will be gorgeous, but not yet. Needs more time. Good with pork tenderloin.

I loved this wine and was thrilled that it held up despite some wine lines along the cork. I feared this was a goner, but nope, delicious as expected.
Deep, dark color, luscious in the mouth and smooth as can be. To be fair, I did give this a good aeration prior to drinking it.
This is everything that you not only love about a Cab, but what you truly expect from Eliz Spencer - whose wines I love! Time to order more!
