2019 Lewis Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

This has improved significantly since I tried it about 1.5 years ago. I still prefer the 2018 but I am now glad I have a few more of the '19s. It is ready to drink now but I think another year will be perfect. It has a nice aroma of darker red fruits and the taste matches. Great fruit flavors with very nice and smooth tannins.

2014 Alpha Omega Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard

As many have mentioned, the aroma is wonderful and it is enjoyable to just bask in the aroma for a while as you anticipate the upcoming first sip. The taste is magical. The wine is rich, smooth and light on its feet. It has a nice dark cherry overtone with chocolate hints along with a mild but nice spicey note. I have one more, but I wish I had a couple cases. This is a crowd pleaser on steroids. Exceptional wine.

This is a great wine. Smooth as silk. Definitely a modern style Napa Cab. I am not sure on the QPR. I am a big fan of the Bard, Tempest, and Farella and I don't think this is that much better to justify the additional price but it is certainly a pleasure to drink. No hard edges and it is a relatively big wine but elegant at the same time.
