  Tried for the first time Saturday night. Powerful, rich berry fruit. Incredibly silky, almost buttery/viscous in the mouth. Black cherry notes build and evolve, very concentrated. Tons of bright fruit, oyster shell salinity, intense smoked spice, eucalyptus/menthol, lead pencil. Beautiful tannins and incredible finish. Showstopper.

  Perfect wine. Another new producer for me, purchased from mailing list. Had for wife's 40th birthday, along with a lineup of first growths and Napa cabs. Outstanding. Will continue to purchase.

  New producer for me...absolute stunner. Dense, powerful nose...Dark purple, cedar, smoke, espresso, dried herbs.
  I would cellar this a few years. We decanted for 4 hours, and it made a world of difference. Powerhouse cabernet, very expressive of Rutherford. One of my top discoveries of 2023.

  My husband and I recently received our allocation from this uber small producer in Napa. This was highly recommended from a close friend that has never let us down in our wine journey. We took a bottle to share at a friend dinner/wine event. We decanted 4 to 5 hours prior. It was a lovely wine! Big, full-bodied with flavors of black cherry, espresso, chocolate, and a touch of graphite. I could not keep my nose out of the glass. It was well balanced and had a beautiful silky mouth feel with a long finish.

  a new producer for me. ordered off the mailing list via recommendation. I am not a guy who dishes out 100 point scores but this was a perfect wine for me. had in a lineup with friends in the bay area along with Ehlich (another new producer), Pahlmeyer and SQN and this wine stole the the night. dark red color. absolutely smashing nose, almost burgundian in terms of its ever changing aromatics. dark cherry, plum, chocolate, gravel (love it), lead pencil/graphite. crazy rich mouthfeel. full bodied and opulent, yet with depth and complexity. long long finish. fucking awesome wine.
