November 24, 2023 - Closed on the first night by massive tannins but opened up on the second night. Dark fruit, cassis and anise. Still tons of structure and a bit of a bruiser. These are nowhere near peak.

January 6, 2023 - Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Dry and very fruity on the palate, with medium acidity and long legs.
Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, earth, licorice, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel.
Smooth and elegant, with a gorgeous nose. Rich, extracted and so enjoyable by itself.
Robert Parker 94 points.
This 10 year old is good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Love these Napa Bordeaux Blends, especially from this great 2013 vintage.
A blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Grapes are from Oakville and Stags Leap regions, and were fermented together. 559 cases produced.
14.7% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$325 (current vintage). -

February 5, 2021 - Decanted for 2 hours, and drank over the next 2. Bold flavors of black cherry, blueberry and crushed rocks. A very good bottle, but not great. I think it needs another 2 -5 years in the bottle. Drank side-by-side with a much less expensive 2008 OV, and the OV was much more flavorful.
