The 2014 Red Wine Reserve bursts from the glass with a mentholated freshness as dusty rose and musky black cherries form its perfumed bouquet. This is deeply textural and plush on the palate, with saline minerals and brisk acidity adding tension as pretty inner florals form toward the close. The 2014 finishes energetically, buzzing with residual tension, as sour cherries and licorice tones slowly fade. Aromatically, the 2014 is beginning to develop, but it still requires some patience to truly soften. (Eric Guido, Vinous, October 2023)

Tried to create a lasting impression on my daughter before leaving us again, as she travels the world, with this Leonetti Reserve. Maybe it was just a blatant attempt of bribery to get her to stay.... The wine slowly released most of its dark deep secrets after decanting/in glas for nearly 2 hours. Blueberry, currant and dry fig carried by cigar box and mulberry spice. We were playing the board game Azul … and suddenly the wine was gone. Must have been one of those bottles again that didn’t have quite 750 ml.

Full bodied, intense and extremely well balanced. Full concert from the quiet flutes to the brass to the booming drums. Satisfying mineral earthy, tobacco notes, lingering finish.

What an absolute joy this wine was to taste. Silky texture, balance, depth, long and lush on the finish. I wish more Napa Cab producers would taste this wine.
