Very disappointed. Expected much more given ratings and price point.
Fruit lacking, nose imparts little plus a finish short. This was not a flawed bottle it was drinkable inline with a decent $25 bottle.

Perfect now. Smooth and balanced just the right amount of fruit. Give it an hour of air and you will not be disappointed. Perfect with a good steak!

Cork was perfect wine undrinkable? Zackys?

Amazingly good for a young Bordeaux. If you like Cali Cab you will like this. Great fruit but not a bomb, smooth buying more as this should age well.

Not up to prior vintages. Muted fruit and more tannic than I am used to from Cali Cabs. QPR not there much better values in the mountains dropping larkmead wine club.

Nice wine with violet on the nose. A subtle but solid red fruit and nice finish. Well worth the price compared to many over price Napa Cabs.

Outstanding Good fruit but not jammy or over powering. Nice structure with long finish will buy more.

Wish I had checked CT prior to buying this. Hard to believe you can make a 2013 Napa cab this poorly. It's thin sweet tastes like wine from a dive bar.
Stay away. Anyone interested in 5 bottles?

Smooth subtle black fruit and spice with a 45 second finish. It stands out one that's worth the investment. Can't wait to see how this ages.

Light but smooth and very enjoyable red fruit. Length limited but it has a nice mouth feel. Drinking well at this point don't believe it will get any better.

First bottle a 94 this bottle almost undrinkable. I have never seen such huge bottle variations from a producer in a single vintage. Good luck you will get either a fun fruit bomb or throw away swill.

It nose is cherry and blackberry. The body is medium. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes long.

If you are into Bordeaux you may not like this wine. It's a true California Cab. big and bold with layered fruit and lots of power but one that's very enjoyable and a pleasure to drink. I will buy more at $55 it's more than worth the price.

Disappointing once again close to a flawed bottle nothing to recommend this wine. Stored with other Barolo's and drank and all showed well except the Damilano.

Great price quality ratio. Nice nose with solid red fruit. A great everyday wine better than many primarily cabs at twice the price.

Not sure if the bottle was starting to turn or just well past its prime. Cork came out cleanly, no seepage and the wine was a clear brick color but bitter not worth drinking

Tight to start but opens nicely with nice long finish.
