4/14/2024 - Elkcims Likes this wine: 96 pointsDouble decant and drank over 2 nights. Full bodied yet with a light opulent texture and a 45 second length. Baked plums, hints of graphite and anise, sweet cassis. Delightful! 96+ |

3/7/2024 - buckeye76 Likes this wine: 91 pointsLasted tasted in 2019 with somewhat similar notes. Still dark fruits in the nose and flavor. Blackberries, black currants, black cherries and notes of leather and earthiness. Nicely balanced though missing some of the complexity of previous tastings. Medium bodied and a medium to long finish. |

5/24/2008 - rikipedia Likes this wine: 89 pointsLWTF - Napa Tasting (London): (Brief notes & thoughts from Walkaround Tasting): Intense nose detailing raisin, dried earth and wood smoke. A soft entry initially rises to a gravelly texture, showing plenty of extracts and a generous, slightly spirited alcohol. Full-bodied with good depth to the wine but inelegant with a creamy yet blunt finish showing dried earth and more smoke. |

Anyway, this is what you expect of a high Howell Mountain side fruit. Well done. I’m pushing this to 2035 rather than 2029 and I may extend that. I still have half a case! |

1/1/2017 - wine maestro wrote: 93 pointsTight and restrained but showcased rich characteristics of cassis, red licorice and macerated plum. Full bodied and plush mouthfeel with firm grain tannins. Milk chocolate beam throughout this well made wine. Kept poise and precision through the midpalate ending in an oak driven lingering finish. Drink. 2004 Napa Cabernet Challenge |

8/11/2023 - WineGuyDelMar Likes this wine: 94 pointsDecanted one hour and drank over the next hour. Typical Napa Cab nose. Black fruits dominate. Medium/full mouth feel. Thanks to Mark1npt for leaving this amazing wine for us to drink. I’ve never had or heard of this Producer but really incredible. This is how Napa should be. 3 people found this helpful, do you?

7/3/2023 - Elkcims Likes this wine: 94 points1 hour slo-ox, nose of dark chocolate, black cherry, black currants, smooth tannins; most enjoyable, but felt it was better a few years ago. Didn't get secondary flavors on this bottle. One bottle remaining. |

7/1/2023 - Decanting Queen Likes this wine: 95 pointsDeer Valley Palooza in 3 stages with Mark1npt and Agelvis; 6/25/2023-7/1/2023 (8,100 ft): I specifically bought this bottle for this occasion and it didn’t disappoint. Floral perfumed nose, black raspberry (is that a real thing?) fruit, a big spicy personality. We only gave it a 1 hr decant but I thought would show better with a few more hours. I have 2 more to age in the cellar for another year or two. |

3/11/2023 - sfwinelover1 Likes this wine: 97 pointsA_M’s wine contribution—he had many other contributions—to our afternoon CS and steak idyll. On the nose and palate, medium potent notes of Bordelaisian funk almost reminiscent of Latour, a mixed palate of black and red berries, currants and a bit of cassis, perhaps losing just a bit of individual definition but beautifully balanced and integrated, leather (but not leathery), anise, meatiness and green olives. Medium red brick, medium+ bodied, full legs. Medium- tannins and acidity, no heat. VG+ complexity and persistence, VG intensity. My first DAE—and specifically requested from A_M for the occasion—and, wow, what a banger, to use my host’s well-turned descriptor. This is that rare Napa Cab that I’d have mistakenly put the chips into the pot betting it was a BDX. It’s sophisticated, elegant and wonderfully supple without feeling soft, a wine in full, and up against a ‘16 Bevan Wildfoote Vixen, which it narrowly bested IMO, it showed the range of not only the CS grape, but Napa winemaking. Whether because of the positive effects of aging or perhaps a kinder, gentler winemaking style that was more in vogue before the turn of the millennium, this wine fit well other high end Napa Cabs from the mid to late 90s I’ve enjoyed in the past 6 months or so: the Pahlmeyers, the ‘97 Cain 5 and Shafer HSS and the ‘96 Insig. I have a mag of the ‘13 of this, and while it’s not in the on deck circle, it certainly won’t have the bottle age on it that this did when I consume it—at that point, I’ll be more likely to be dribbling wine than drinking it—I’ll be curious to see how it compares. A_M had this in a decanter prior to our arrival and said it came out of the bottle a bit unbalanced but it was beautiful from my first sip to last, continuing to deepen just a bit, reminiscent of the ‘06 Verite Desir, over the course of several hours. This was lovely on its own, and, even though the structure is pretty much completely integrated, an absolute rockstar with the steaks, really showing its superiority to the Myriad and the Bevan as an accompaniment. This is inarguably in an outstanding drinking window, and while I’m not taking a definitive position in the discussion between recent tasters whether this a drink now or it will keep for 20 years, I’d ever so slightly put my thumb on the scale for the former. Great stuff, this, and thanks again, A_M. 97+ |

11/25/2022 - Francophile1 Likes this wine: 94 pointsMy wine of the night. While still very young and primary, this has all of the stuffing and balance to evolve into an incredible California Cab. Decanted for 1 hour. Give this one time as it will get better. |

It's got some leather, chocolate, green olives...And it sang all night. I'm so excited I've got two more bottles to enjoy during the holidays. Do you find this review helpful?
