Expected so much more from this producer. Tight at PNP and still tight and astringent 3 hours in. Would say ok if there was depth and complexity to suggest it was just too early, but not so here.

2014 vintage

PNP revealed not much, tight, 87 rating. Day 2 improved to 89.

Had a solid evening with friends drinking California cabs and eating prime steaks. This was the first of three bottles (the others were a 2019 Stag's Leap and a 2019 Beau Vigne Juliet), which were consumed in order from what we anticipated to be softest to boldest. We were correct in our sequence. All of the evening's participants enjoyed this one, but a few said it was softer than they prefer in a cab. I was surprised by the balance, …

decanted three hours to open up and enjoy with a rack of lamb dinner. the second glass even opened up more. slightly dry, great nose, dark berries.

2014 vintage

Very good

2014 vintage

Deep ruby, forest and cherry nose, chocolate notes bold but controlled very well crafted cab

2014 vintage

Double decanted back into bottle half hour before serving with flank steak. Smell from decanter said we are in for a treat. Poured into two glasses, color dark garnet, no bricking at rim. Nose old school Napa Cab, dark fruits/berries/spice. Tasting this Cab, really reminds me of how well Silverado represents Napa Cabs. A pure pleasure to enjoy with a good meal shared with my wife who loved this wine as much as I did. Perfect age on this Cab, …

2014 vintage

Surprisingly good. Medium body. Decanted for 1:00. Some tannins present.

2014 vintage

Dark garnet with a clear watery edge. The bouquet is very vibrant and quite intriging with impressions of candied fruit, vanilla, cedar, oak and subtle game. The palate is on the fuller end of medium-bodied with an interesting and dynamic interplay of the ripe fruity freshness, fine grain tannins and acidity that is very much in the process of becoming, but sadly the alcoholic component is sticking out a bit too much for it’s own good. The flavors in this …

2014 vintage

Medium tannin, easy drinking. Black fruits. Not a long enjoy yet was very enjoyable.

2014 vintage

Tasted blind against two other Napa Cabs. Expected more here for the price. Nose was faint in all with dried berry and vanilla. Very disappointing and weak on the palate. This bottle just couldn’t stand up to the others we tasted that evening.

2014 vintage

Low tannins Can drink alone w/o having to have munchies

2014 vintage

Dark dark dark in the glass, legs like Betty Grable, dark fruit and spice to the nose. At first taste sweet cranberry and blackberries followed by baking spice vanilla and oak. 5 years in and still has pretty heavy tannins. Med plus finish. All in all decent effort but for the price there are better options.

2014 vintage

this is pretty good with a good aroma and taste of red fruits. The finish is just not that pleasing.

2014 vintage

Very good Napa cab. Allspice, cranberry and dried herbs on the nose. Very dry and smooth mouthfeel with excellent balance. Walks the line between new world and old world perfectly. Hard to beat at $30.

2014 vintage

Very nice wine. Earthy and well balanced. Easy to drink. Smooth finish. Integrated tannins.

2014 vintage

Slow ox for an hour and consumed over the following three. Classic Napa style with estate grown grapes from Coombsville, Yountville, Soda Creek Canyon and Stag's Leap District. Aromas of dark fruits, toasted bread, cranberry and violets. Plush on the palate with flavors of plum, blackberry, licorice, vanilla and tart cherry. Medium-full mouthfeel with a balanced, polished texture that leads to a smooth, 30 second finish. An approachable, entry level cab from a long-time producer, this wine will continue to …

2014 vintage

Smooth and firm this is an easy drinking wine that is aging well.

2014 vintage

Fruity with cassis, oak is a little overdone, pronounced cigar box, some stems, mild tannins, medium acid, short finish. Decent for restaurant given markup.

2014 vintage

Also with lavish sweet oak. And a touch green. And just a little touch of bitter on the back.

2014 vintage

Drank at Roy’s house

2014 vintage

Ripe black fruit, everything you could ask for is there, no flash, If its $20 it rocks it out of the park. Is it?

2014 vintage

Drinking young with Venturi

2014 vintage

Not bad and also not particularly great. Light to medium bodied and more purple fruits than black fruits. Dominant plum and some cherry. It is just ok.

2014 vintage

Big, tannic, bold. Slightly harsh. Pretty acidic mixed with bright and underripered fruit flavors such as underripe blackberries and raspberries. Really needs an aggressive decant or several more years in the bottle to drink well. 89

2014 vintage

Nothing overly interesting or complex but very well made. Highly acid with firm tannins and hard structure. Almost an old school Napa or blind even young Bordeaux. Tart blackberry, chalky cassis, dusty vanilla, graphite, and soil. Still some decent extraction and oak that gives it away as Napa. Nonetheless nice for the price. This has at least 10 years to go.

2014 vintage

Dark fruits, pepper, hints of smoke & vanilla, firm tannins, medium-long finish. Perfect with grilled lamb, purple potato gnocchi, Shiraz & rosemary jus. Excellent despite drinking a bit young.

2014 vintage

Dark fruit, Dry, Smooth, Pleasant nose.
