July 20, 2016 - This was quite European with chocolate and black fruits, nice body, good savouriness, lowish alcohol at 13.5% with decent length and acidity.
July 8, 2016 - Corked urhggg. Was looking forward to this for our Friday night filets. Oh well :) ended up HAVING LOL to drink a 09' Clarendon Hill St Moritz Syrah. Yummm
February 14, 2016 - Still in good shape but wouldn't hold much longer. Great with leg of lamb!
September 12, 2015 - Was excellent and decanted for 2 hrs! Was so much better than other wines tonight. Plenty of black fruit and was quite balanced!!
March 7, 2015 - Nice fruit with a bit of chocolate and balanced tannins. Nice body and color and drinking well for the QPR pretty nice and went well with grilled filets. Would agree with window that it has a little left in tank to keep but why not enjoy now. A nice step up from the Sonoma County bottling.
March 8, 2014 - Bright fruit and soft tannins for a well rounded long finish.
May 12, 2013 - Rich, fruit-forward, and complex with notes of dark cherry, tobacco, and chocolate in a balanced structure with oak and tannins.
October 25, 2012 - I cannot explain the lower ratings for this wine; a solid performer - full-bodied and mild with smooth texture. Not a typical entry Napa Cab which are a dime-a-dozen. Nice fruit on the nose with a hint of oak; I will gladly buy more for the $20 I paid.
Paired excellent with beef tips with noodles and gravy!
September 18, 2012 - Creamy smooooth, fruity without noticeable oak or acids. But not flabby. Easy to pour down and not offensive but no depth or secondary flavors - what you taste up front is what you get!
August 27, 2012 - A solid cab at this price level.
