2001 – Napa Valley, CA – $90 — Rating 4.5
Nice big Napa Cab. Very smooth soft tannins. Hints of chocolate and cherry. RP calls it ” It is a hedonistic fleshpot of a wine”

2005 – Napa Valley, CA – $50 — Rating 4.0
“Medium garnet hue. Inviting scents of black cherry, mocha and raspberry with hints of leather and menthol. Vibrant acidity and juicy flavors of raspberry and cassis bolstered by robust tannins. Layered, lingering finish of espresso, mint and wild cherry.” WN – 91

2006 – Howell Mountain – Napa Valley, CA – $48 — Rating 92
“Dense, muscle-bound and loaded with cracked pepper. Offers aromas of huckleberry, raspberry and fresh sage, with tightly wound loam, pencil lead and licorice flavors that finish with rustic tannins” WS -90
