Drinking perfectly right now. Still a little bit of residual alcohol left on this, but not even close to over powering the chocolate tones of this delicious wine

Perfectly aged based on the balance of fruit and depth. Gorgeous wine. Only regret is not buying more 10 years ago...

A really solid effort.

Great QPR by today's napa standards. Fully integrated, silky, ready to drink now. Good balance of creme de cassis and tobacco on the nose. Definitely would recommend!

A nicely integrated wine with a good blend of sour cherries and dark fruit. Drink now, not sure this one will last a lot longer, imo

An old favorite... The wine that got me into wine.

At it's peak right now (if it was stored properly). Still a good bit of that Axios berry fruit, but totally settled in and integrated. What a treat!

Day 1 - Inky in color, a lot of dark fruit. Minty chocolate on the front palate. A good effort.

Soft and sweet tannins. A very good effort. Smooth drinker with cassis on the front and (not too sour) cherries on the back. Very well structured cab. Drinking very well right now, but don't think that this has the stuff to last for years.

Bought off of Wtso.com. Nice wine with good balance of blackberry fruit on the front and a smooth finish on the back

Silky smooth beautiful long finish. This wine is the real deal and what Cabernet should be... A balance between being meaty, supple, intense, and elegant. Amazing.

Good amount of pepper remaining on the nose. Interesting balance of feel it in your front teeth and smoothness on the back palate. Would drink any and all over the next 6 months.

Drink up now. In it's peak. Smooth and interestingly a bit smokey. Great wine. Will drink my last one (sadly) soon.

Conjures up memories of their harvest festival with each sip. Opolo is a first class operation and the folks there are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. A big fan of their zins, this wine is impressive given the balance of high alcohol and smooth drinking. Fruit forward with a lot of strawberries on the front and a pleasant, lingering finish that lasts. Also recommend their summit creek (fantastic QPR) and mountain zin. If you can make it to their harvest festival at the end of october, I highly suggest it.

A lot of tannins and decent amount of oak. Sharp mouth feel. Maybe too young, cellar for a while. Fruit on the nose does not match the fruit on the pallate at all.

One dimensional, alcohol bomb on the front and very sour cherries on the back. Disappointing.
