   Raspberry, cinnamon and anise with soft mouthfeel and nice oak, but high tannin. Enjoyable, but better with aging.

   Average wine, not recommended with filet. Look for another option.

   Alan Virgilio – November 20, 2020

   Potential 90+ wine with shy start, chewy minerality, and creamy dark fruits. Needs 3-5 years for integration.

   Good Napa Cab Sauv with dark cherry and strawberry nose, polished tannins, oak and spice finish. Lacks complexity.

    92 points James Suckling: Salvestrin Cabernet is fantastic- black cherry, blackberry, and spice. Full bodied, supple tannin, lengthy finish. $50- a wine not to be missed.

    Damion Wolfe – November 16, 2021

    Deeply colored with black center and garnet edges. Heavy perfume of lavender, camphor, and black cherry on nose. Rich and pure, multi-dimensional palate with fresh acidity. Flavors of chocolate and blackberry carried through lengthy finish. Will improve with aging.

    Ty Botta – May 5, 2022

    Youthful dark color with aromas of black cabernet fruit, lavender, bay leaf and herbs. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Paired beautifully with Flannery California Reserve dry aged New York steaks. 90-91 pts with room for improvement.

    Perfect Italian pairing. Subtle tart and cherry notes. Lighter than Napa cab.

    Youthful and vibrant midweek cabernet with a zinfandel mouthfeel and classic cabernet flavors.

    Bold fruit-forward wine, requires 2-hour decant. Cheers!

    Agreed with others. Full berry notes. Decanted for an hour, but needed more time to open up.

    Gary Malekan – May 15, 2023

    Balanced and structured with notes of candied apple, violets, and red licorice. Delivers flavors of blue fruits, cedar, cocoa, and tobacco, with a soft, moderately long finish. Enjoyable and consistent quality for 2014 Napa cabs.

    JS – May 24, 2023

    Pure and fresh nose with a hint of stones and oatmeal to the lemon curd and green apples. Nicely saline on the medium-bodied palate with some grapefruit skins and white almonds in the finish. Drink now.
