March 26, 2016 - Ditto...but without the green pepper notes. Aging very well, with at least five more years of staying power. A fantastic red from Napa elevation.

April 24, 2013 - Very consistent with my previous bottle. Love that mountain fruit. Lighter bodied than valley floor reds, higher in acidity, lean and trained. No heavy protein needed for this lovely wine -- but it won't hurt, either.

August 25, 2012 - This is damn fine mountain-grown wine. Out of the bottle, there's a vegetal, bell pepper thing. Then, it transforms with air and settles somewhere between dark and red fruit, depending on the moment. Acidity, tartness. Excellent.

December 11, 2011 - (A-) Nose is deep and filling with ripe plum, a bit of pepper, and some barrel room. The mouthfeel is silky and smooth. Fresh dark fruits with a bit of cream and toffee in back. Has opened up a lot in the last 14 months.
