4/14/2024 - Badmonkey wrote: 96 pointsThe nose of this wine is enticing - I could tell that I was in for a treat. Dark ruby fruit - currants, dark cherry, and blackberry. Smooth mid-palate with a beautiful purity and decent depth/concentration - medium/medium plus body. Nice rich/vibrant flavors of cassis, some spice/herbs, a little black tea, and a mineral/graphite component. Decent finish but not overly long nor deep - I believe the finish will benefit from some more time. Slow ox during the day for around ten hours and drank out of a decanter for a couple more. Improved a little with time. In my opinion, quite a step-up from their entry level cab - although I’ve only had the 2016 and 2021 vintages. No surprise of the 95 rating from WA and also no surprise that the vineyard sits next to Dr. Crane on the western side of Saint Helena. 100% cab. |

4/14/2024 - Badmonkey wrote: 92 pointsCurious in light of the 94 rating from Lisa Perrotti-Brown and 93+ rating from Dunnuck. According to the Winery, a blend of their six Bordeaux style vineyards with an emphasis from four Napa Valley AVA designations in Coombsville, Oak Knoll, Oakville, and Saint Helena. Purple fruit - currants, dark cherry, blackberry, and a little blueberry. Smooth mid-palate with solid depth/concentration. Nice vibrant flavors of cassis, some spice/licorice, cocoa, and a little mineral/graphite component. However, the finish was lacking - short/not much depth. Decanted for four hours and drank over a couple more. Improved a little with time. In my opinion, closer to the 91+ rating from WA at this youthful stage. 96% cab sauvignon and 4% petit verdot. |

3/9/2024 - Asull2k Likes this wine: 92 pointsDecanted a portion with stir and it opened after an hour. Vacuvin’d the rest. Same results on day 4. Tried PnP on day 3 but it didn’t really open well after 1-2 hrs (give this air). Rose petal, lilac, raspberry on the nose. Black cherry, raspberry, hint of dark chocolate and vanilla, with 30-35 sec finish. Nice pairing with sausage pasta and likely great with steak as well. Plush style of cabernet. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

3/6/2024 - Cristal2000 Likes this wine: 98 pointsOther than perhaps MacDonald, these are the best QPR in Napa by a mile. It's incredible the quality Maayan puts in the bottle for the price. Combine that with a fabulous vintage like 2021 and you have a no brainer, back the truck up purchase. |

2/10/2024 - WineBurrowingWombat Likes this wine: 95 pointsDark floral aromas of purple and black flowers, dark and black fruits with a scent of ripeness but with a mix of bitter minerals as well, showing a nice contrast. Wet stones and dried earth also appear on the nose. |

2/8/2024 - pakabear Likes this wine: 92 pointsInitially the nose was consumed with pine needles and juniper, over the day this began to blow off, cherry, strawberry, roasted meat, good acidity and balance. I’ll leave my remaining bottles for a couple years. |

12/22/2023 - Rex66 Likes this wine: 94 pointsDecanted 20 minutes or so before first taste, maybe still just a bit tight, but pretty ready to go. Poured a deep ruby purple. Nose of muddled black fruit and sagey underbrush, lots of black fruited goodness on the palate, maybe a little cigar leaf in there too, leading into a grippy but smooth finish with a hit of mouthwatering salinity. Perfect with steak at Peter Luger Las Vegas ($50 corkage). 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |
