Brought to MD from our bro @Ian Leath for @Shine J. And family. Incredible wine, beyond impressed. So much personality and character. I can still smell and taste the prettier floral notes, opulent but structured Veeder fruit, tobacco and licorice. This was at a great stage and firing! It was tasted beside the Ovid ‘12 and I kept telling Ian and at 1/3 the price, this is competing real hard with it. A true WOW wine! I can’t wait to get more!

A beautiful Christmas wine that was singing with a two hour decant. These O'Shaughnessy wines are so consistently good vintage after vintage and have a nice QPR given the market for Napa wines these days. The mouthfeel, energy, multi toned fruit and finish are wonderful. Really good food wine as well.

Truly a great wine and drinking well right now. Opened and let breathe in the bottle for two hours. Was fully developed and integrated at that point. Several people at dinner were blown away by this one and took photos of the bottle for reference. A true crowd pleaser.

Drank side by side with the 2016 Mt Veeder. This was clearly our favorite. Drinking beautifully right now. Dark fruits, integrated tannins.
