3L gifted from Dennis.
Slow to open, but after a couple hours it really started to sing. Slightly tired, loads of tertiary character (duh), fruit surprisingly good at this stage. Over delivered on expectations. — 8 months ago
Beautiful blue fruit and black cherry. Bold tannins in a Left Bank style blend. Hay, star anise, sage. Let this one age a bit. — 4 years ago

I thought this was tremendous. Unlike the Groth cask reserve I get a vibe for the wine barrel treatment here. This is 15 yr old bourbon finished in Chappellet Pritchard Hill cab oak barrels. The bourbon itself has a red hue, possibly owing to the wine barrel. I actually poured my taste in to my wine glass after I finished off some Sloan. To me it's a more successful experiment than the Groth cask. The increased time in French oak has created a smooth, dry whiskey with absolutely zero bite. While I can't specifically pinpoint flavors of wine...or Pritchard Hill...the flavors of cherry and dark chocolate and less obvious sweetness places this smack dab in the middle of my wheelhouse--near my watches, converse and left behind bras. — 9 years ago



Celebratory glass after my senior design presentation! A blend of 49% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petite Verdot, with aromas of dark fruit, spice and cedar notes, aged for 22 months in French oak, 70% new. absolutely phenomenal. Notes of blackberry, cherry, and a little bit herby. Silky smooth — 2 months ago
A blend of 49% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petite Verdot, with aromas of dark fruit, spice and cedar notes, aged for 22 months in French oak, 70% new. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and currants with dried herbs, cacao, pepper and spice with underlying gentle sweetness. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, toasty notes, and herb spice. Drink over next 6+ years, nice now! Small production! — a year ago

Opened first bottle of mixed case to celebrate anniversary for 3rd decade (cheated a bit as this was 29 years with wonderful bride Kim. Lots of dark fruit with just a touch of tannic finish. We visited Al on our honeymoon to pass muster before he sold a case futures. Quite a character! btw, Groth & Girard were Cans for first 2 decades. — 7 years ago
Really nice. One of the better sav Blancs after merry Edwards and Groth. Get again. — 9 years ago

11th anniversary wine. Blew me away. Good reminder that there is still value in Napa. Vineyard we got engaged at, from the year we met. Special. — a month ago
