I was blown away by this wine. As I gravitate more toward old world bordeauxs, this one was reminiscent of those wines. Nice big body with layers and layers of fruit and tannin. Dark and bright red fruit profile, not too much plum, nor vanilla. My kind of Napa cab.

Outstanding wine! This is a powerful Bordeaux blend with sophisticated flavors. On the nose, cedar wood, raspberry and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, black and red fruit with a finish of tart pomegranate on the back palate. Some tobacco and spice box on the palate as well. Just the right amount of oak to deliver the power this wine has. Suckling gave this a 98, and I agree. Going to stock up on these and lay them down for 2030 and beyond!

Napa and Sonoma (Hamel, Jewell, Reeve, Enriquez, Wren Hop, Phifer Pavitt, Gamble, Markham, Amulet, Pride Mountain, Pahlmeyer, Arrow&Branch, Fait-Main); 7/10/2023-7/14/2023 (Sonoma and Napa): Tasted at Stagecoach vineyard (wow - that view!). Bordeaux blend - 78% cab. A bit darker color than the 2019 merlot tasted before it. Bell pepper and dark fruit nose.. Taste: thick layers and layers and layers! Dark blue fruit. Also earthy mushroom. Somewhat tannic. Very good wine!
