Made with 70% Xarel-lo and 30% Macabeo in the Penedes, this is beautifully expressive, with brioche, butterscotch, and roasted almonds on the nose. Hints of citrus and crushed flowers peek out with time. On the palate the flavors mirror the nose, and a vibrant acidity comes through as well. Mouthfeel is creamy, and finish is long, with brioche and mineral notes lingering on the palate. Aged 95 months on the lees. Paired well with swordfish braised with tomatoes and sweet yellow peppers. — 3 months ago
2016 Vintage agree with @Daniel P. Drake review after allowing it to breathe for 20 minutes. Lovely at 10 years old. — 6 months ago
No acid but just smooth cranberry and cherry. A perfect Beaujolais. — 8 months ago

Another gem that we were able to taste at WS this past weekend. My first WS Cab. I called it a Pinot lovers Cab. I enjoyed it enough to bring one home for future enjoyment. Notes from winemaker describe this as a “classically stoked Cab from the historic Rutherford property. Fresh currants with highlights of red fruit.” It also offers undertones of mountain fruit. — 5 years ago
Enjoyed a 17 at dinner with friends. This wine is beautiful, as good as the 16 I had a couple weeks ago. Super soft silky tannins. Wonderfully balanced. Great mouthfeel. Like a 20 year old Paulliac. Loved it. — a month ago
Opened a bottle 2 years ago & it was excellent but a bit of tannin bite on finish. Today this bottle retained the fruit aromas & palate feel but it’s finish softened so I found it bit better. — 3 months ago
Deep purple/ inky in color with a reddish rim.
Beautiful nose of red and black fruits with cedar, vanilla, licorice, Indian spices, tobacco leaf and chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with red cherries, currants, black plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, herbs and peppercorn.
Long tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Elegant, fruit forward and exciting. Nicely balanced and complex.
Still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already drinking gorgeously.
Already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 7 years and see how it evolves.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A tiny production of only 640 bottles.

In a great spot after an hour of air. A fantastic complement to lamb chops. Bravo, @Mike Smith! — 4 years ago
Hard to rate this fairly given it’s young age and lack of decanting.. it was a little tight and closed initially but started to open up as the bottle was consumed .. Has great upside and I can see this easily being a 95+ point wine if given the proper treatment! — 6 years ago
Awesome stuff. Oxidative notes, stone fruit skins, on first contact. Basically some kind of fruity bitterness/nuttiness to start. Backed by tropical notes of pineapple and good citrus! Fun amount of acid it give it energy!! Just a really good drink. — 6 months ago
1.5 hour decant (just a little cloudy sediment). A thrilling dark purple garnet color. On the nose: blackberry, floral, spice, gravel. Taste: dry, acidic, medium body wine with blackberry, tobacco, cassis, some dusty tannis still there and a cherry cedar medium finish. — 6 years ago
