Last wine at Chops Grille. Needed some solid decant time to open up, around three hours. Insanely dark purplish red. Interesting nose with twigs and a touch green on the attack followed by cherries, floral and a touch dirty. Heavy and dry tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Super dry palate with some leather to start then opened up with blueberries, forest floor and spices. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2032. (92+)

Great cab that I have never had before. You'll love it if your a fan of dark sour cherries, pepper, cedar, spice and everything nice! Good but not Great for me. I prefer dark blue fruit profiles vs cherry profiles. However, I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers! It was still very good just not the best I've ever had.

This thing is a beast. Really nice structure. Tannins and acidity in balance. Loads of fruit and thirty second finish.

Dark ruby in color, on the palate perfectly balanced flavors of blue and blackberries with hints of Swiss chocolate and nutmeg. What do you guys think about my selection, @Cointa I Jauregui @Roy Goble @Alex Lallos @David L @Ron R @Steve Anderson and to everyone else. Happy Easter

First time trying and I loved this. Really a great mix of old & new world styles.

Excellent Coombsville Cabernet. More of an old world style wine, less of a fruit bomb and more tannins and perfect amount of acidity. Tannins are grippy but not harsh. Decanted for 2 hours and the wine really shined. This wine has the structure to age for another 10+ years, but it still drinking great now.

Massimo is a genius! Can't wait to see his wines evolve and develop over time. Pure fruit and has wonderful, natural acid. THIS is what Napa cab is all about.
