Good laird — 2 years ago

2019 vintage. This blend is (from memory so don't quote me) 63% Cab Sauv. 18% Syrah, 12% Merlot, 5% Cab Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. The 2018 was great bang for the buck at $15 a btl resto cost. Slightly less richness in the frontal palate than the 2018 but it is an apples/oranges situation. 2019 vintage up a dollar to a whopping $16 btl cost. Drinking really well and couldn't really ask for more for a Napa red blend. Great large party wine and cheap enuff to cancel out overpriced, Napa red blends juice guilt. Ordered 3 cases. 10.8.25. — 5 months ago

This underwent 100% malolactic and spent 10 months in 30% new French oak, so it has a creamy palate ripe with stone fruits. Yet it does not feel heavy or cloying. Oak is well managed and acidity manages to be fresh. Quite enjoyable.
The Laird family holds about 2000 acres of vineyards in Napa Valley, including Suscol and Linda Vista. Red Hen is the home estate. — 3 years ago
Somewhat more drinkable than the Laird, yet still a monster. — 5 years ago

Solid cab. Not strong tannin but it is balance and a medium body. Good fruit forward taste. — 3 days ago
