Chewy smooth mouthful of wine, little bit of pepper and mineral. Stays on the palate — 4 years ago
1hr plus decant. Dark red color. Cassis and dark fruit on the palate. Very sweet, like candy in a glass. Huge depth. Different style than most Napa Cabs but who doesn’t like candy! — 4 years ago
Deep Ruby red color with black fruit aromas, vanilla, earthy herb scents and coffee notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry, with vanilla, tobacco and cacao on fine tannins, nice balance. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, earthy oak and cacao, nice and has some room for cellaring. — 24 days ago

Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2017 “Two Blondes Vineyard” pours a deep garnet/purple with an opaque core; medium viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with cassis, black cherry, cocoa, flowers, herbs, soil, Band Aid, and fine warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A lighter, more elegant expression of this wine than I have been used to in the past. Drink now through 2032. — 3 months ago
Mid Ruby red in colour with a tawny edge. Sour cherry with touches of pepper and cloves. Not as raspberry as I was expecting from old vine Mataro. With a couple of hours of aeration the raspberry notes started coming through finishing with Sandy tannins. This wine is made by the multi talented Andrew Caillard who is the supremo of Fine Wine retailer and auctioneer Langtons who allowed Andrew to make his superb range of wines under his own label using old vine Mataro and Shiraz; painted the exquisite labels himself and who achieved a Master of Wine in his spare time. I am lucky to have 5 of these beauties left. 96 points from James Halliday. — 4 years ago

5/2026. Very nice Washington Cab. Good fruit, nice on the palate and lingers. Paired well with the various seafood appetizers at Mr. Friendly’s.
My 3rd vintage. — 6 hours ago
