Big, dark, fruity, dry and tannic. Will this even post? 🤞

Really good! Very similar to a high quality, mature Bordeaux. 30+ minute decant but fades fairly quick so probably doesn’t need it. See previous notes. — 3 years ago

Although it’s rated very dry, it has a very delightful sweetness to its strong taste. Awesome Shiraz. — 5 years ago

Stone fruits, some spice. Piercing acidity. Maybe the blend but drank a bit like a southern Rhone. Didn’t stand up to Melissa Clark’s Hoisin Glazed Pork Bowl. — 5 years ago

Zinfandel and Carignan from a 123-year-old vineyard in Santa Clara County in the foothills on the way to Santa Cruz, super juicy and spicy, great depth and length, still super youthful, lovely. To be released 10/28/25. — 9 months ago

My last bottle of this vintage and I was concerned that it might be corked. But to my pleasant surprise it was very nice for a 17 year old Petite Sirah. A little smoky at first but then it opened up and was delicious. Retained primary fruit on the pallet but not on the nose. Very light tannins with small amounts of sediment in the glass but quite a bit on the bottle neck. Paired perfectly with rotisserie lamb. — 3 years ago

For the price, the best Cab around. Silky smooth, soft tannins, low to medium acidity. Garnet and clear. For the vintage you would expect it to taste young but it is ready to drink. Cassis, blackberry, dark cherry. Medium finish, medium viscosity. Will only get better with time. — 6 years ago

Decanted 30 minutes. Expressive nose of dark berries. Air time added a smooth mouthfeel. Luscious medium to long finish. Drinking very well now. — 6 years ago

Requires some air but utterly delicious. So different than the ridge ‘pagani ranch’ but equally as insightful with regards to that terroir. Lush, complex and truly ‘American’. Bravo! — 4 years ago

Prob didn’t need to have this btl at the end of the night, but it had a great, sweet richness. Lots of vanilla bean, soft chocolate finesse. What a treat - especially after having a 2017 Imposter early in the nite! Thx Jeff Cohn. — 5 years ago

Needs some air and likely time in the bottle. Rustic with obvious Napa qualities. Nose is pretty with flowers, dark fruits, berries, bark. Palate is more vanilla and barrel than the nose tells. I’d like to revisit in a year or two. My guess is this is just too young and not completely integrated. Very lovely despite that. — 6 years ago

Drank 2/21/20. Tasting event. Tasting pour.

An early drinking, more ripe style. Black cherry, black currant, magic marker, earth and a touch of underbrush on the bouquet. Black fruit and a hint of pepper on the nose well integrated tannins, full body, long finish.
