  1.5 Liter on Christmas Eve. Typical quality from the First Lady of Wine.
  Wonderful dark fruit with a great Bordeaux style and very smooth and complex. Wish I had more of the 08. This is one of Heidi's best labels and I can't resist getting some of the 2016. Outstanding!

  Dark blackberry, currents and very sleek, light and lean on the palate, not flavor instance. Quality fruit, an elegant wine that is smooth and nicely put together, more old world in style. If this were a blind tasting, I would have thought it to be a Bordeaux, not a Napa Cab. This wine goes nicely with N.Y. Strip, its probably more of a wine that goes better with food. Wine Enthusiast gave this wine 97 points, Robert Parker scored it at 94 points, I say 91 points. Not a bad wine at all, decent, but just not my style.

  This wine is so not ready to drink. I could not even begin to rate this, but it seems to have potential. Wait until 2020.
