  I met Michael in 1996. I have always been a fan of his abilities to make wine. He is also one of the best human beings I have had the pleasure to know. Back in the day, I bought a lot of his Karl Lawrence. I mean a LOT!! I had a standing order for 5 cases of 750's, a case of 1.5L, a 3L and a 6L of his blend, and a case each of his vineyard reserves. Happy to report that they have stood the test of time and are still drinking great. This bottle was a gift from him and was my only bottle. It was an off vintage for Napa and my expectations were mixed. Boy, was I blown away. PNP. Was tight for the first 30 minutes, then it blossomed into a full bodied, impecably balanced, absolutely delicious wine. Shows what a skilled winemaker can do with less than optimal fruit. Not surprised !!!

  Great nose. Soft tannins. Notes of leather, cassis and herbs. Medium long finish.

  My last bottle. Obviously nobody told them 2011 was a weak year. Very aromatic. Beautiful nose of black fruit, earth, leather, cassis, anise and spice. Similar flavors. Medium body, great balance. Medium silky smooth finish. In a really good place now. May improve, but should still hold for another few years. May have been the best of the 6 bottles.

  Bought 6 a few years back. The first few were too young and I regret drinking them too early. Had one last night and it’s drinking beautifully. Well balanced with lots of dark fruit, oak, & leather notes. Classic big Napa cab. Looking forward to the next bottle.
