酒庄主是一位在纳帕谷的重要人士，也是另一家更高端的Quintessa酒庄主的堂兄弟。这款酒闻起来有黑莓，桉树，大地的味道。丰富的口感似乎是由众多种味道融为而成：黑葡萄干，可可/巧克力，甚至一些南瓜派混合香料的触感。有水果味，但是单宁略微有些重，且酒有点“热“（14.5％酒精度）使它看起来有点不够平衡。一个给力的中等长度的余味还略带甜味。总之相比起来在纳帕其他较为昂贵的邻居来说这是一款相当不错的酒，可以尝试架烤牛排和它搭配。极力推荐。

A Napa biggie, a cousin of the pricier Quintessa. Nose of blackberry, eucalyptus, and earth. Rich feel on palate seemingly coming from myriad directions: dark currants, cocoa/chocolate, even some hints of pumpkin pie spice blend. The fruit, however, is a tad out of whack to the tannins and the wine is a bit “hot” (14.5% alc.) making it seem a bit unbalanced. A sinewy, semi-long finish that is slightly sweet. Nevertheless, a quite good wine, and a bargain when compared to many of its pricey Napa neighbors. Try with grilled hanger steak. Highly recommended. Read More
