  Full bodied and deep purple in color. Grippy tannins and fantastic black cherry and blackberries. Well balanced and delicious.

  This was one of the best Napa cabs I've had in quite a while. I think I generally really like the '16 Napa vintage - concentrated, but also balanced and very expressive and this was a fine example. Great acidity on the finish, big concentration, everything quite resolved, so much depth and expression, detailed, great delineation of fruit, some welcome dryness. I'd never get tired of drinking this. I visited the winery once or twice and it's a nice experience. The wines from here feel under-rated and underpriced for me. Even their zinfandel is a standout and I normally don't like zins much. 95+pts.

  Complex, with bright bing cherry and some white pepper. Enough texture in the tannins to go with steak but also pair with many less robust meals.

  From select plots and again with a beautiful fruit core to it. 50% new oak so more new oak as well. Powdered and pure on the palate too. Very structured, just needs some time.
