Potentially the best wine I have ever tasted. Absolutely love Atlas Peak Cabs, and this one really, really, hits the spot. Went looking for more as soon as we returned from Napa.

Das war ein Traum. Weintasting im Hotel Neptun in Warnemünde. Ein ganz besonderer Cabernet Sauvignon. Ich weiss garnicht, wo ich anfangen soll.Dunkelrot im Glas. Eine Nase mit Noten von Schokolade, Leder, Akazienholz, schwarzen Johannisbeeren und Schwarzkirsche. Am Gaumen geht die Komplexität weiter mit Noten von Cohiba Tabak, Schwarzkirsche, Erdbeeren, trockenem Waldboden, Chilli und Pfeffer. Der Ausklang mit erdigen Noten an einer Eiche nach der Jagd und fruchtigen Noten machen ihn zu etwas

Rich and smooth and chocolate. Can be drunk alone or with saucy food and pastas. Smokey yet not peppery, very mellow.

Not as dry by the nose as expected but complex. Piney, peppery, black currant.

One of the best. Deep dark red wine fruity aroma. Oak and chocolate hints. Pairs well with Lamb.

Unbelievable cab! Silky long tannins. Mouth watering notes of blueberry blackberry and toasted tobacco. If you can find it drink it.

VivinoHalyna Ivaniuk For Somm Production2020-09-13

Juicy, sweet and chocolatey but not over the top. Boasts very good density and texture, with lively, primary flavors of blackberry and violet. 😋😋😋

Extremely special gift - Kayne. Massive blackberry jam flavor. Benefits from 30 minutes of air. Like an alcohol infused liquor… higher alcohol content

One of the best big California cabs on the market today. Mouthfeel and finish last forever. Like great slow and long sex. Well balanced full bodied excellence.

Heidi strikes again. Dark, luscious and mouth filling. The fruit is in perfect harmony with the tannins in this perfectly balanced wine. Brings to mind Screaming Eagle. A bargain at this price. I am in awe of her talent.

VivinoPeter Hess2019-02-07

Superbly nuanced, very polished and pure, this possesses exceptional finesse and precision. Displaying a wonderful array of flavors like mentholated mountain - blueberries, pencil lead,jasmine flowers, roasted espresso, Indian spices and dark plum preserves on both the nose and the palate . The lively palate is full- bodied with firm, fine grained and velvety tannins and a fantastic mineral - tinged aftertaste!

VivinoRyan Greyling2016-07-09

This is a big Napa and deserves nothing less than a 5. That said it is only going to get better over the next 10 to 15 years. Jammy black currents and earth all come through in perfect harmony. What a wine and I am certainly going to buy some more bottles for the cellar.

VivinoJJ Hoover2017-11-10

Has this for anniversary dinner. Quite a spend for us but boy was the experience worth it. So complex with one of the best perfumed wine I’ve smelled. Bold fruit and tannin delicious. It was a long tasting wine. Like a great story. Good beginning, exciting middle and spectacular finish.

ни намека на "перебор" - все очень сдержанно, компактно, но в то же время невероятно красиво. Соломенный нос, черника, сладкий перец, немного леса на дальнем плане и бархатные танины... протаранило мое сознание!

Epic as epic gets. Same wine maker same as Amouche Bouche and just wow. These wines have an amazing balance of gorgeous fruit profile, freshness, red tint, cold breeze, earthy. Beets the Dominus and Opus. Seriously these things are crazy.

I previously had the 2021 of this wine and it blew me away, 2015 is simply astounding! Dark Ruby, medium++ bodied, dry with awesome tannins and great balance in acidity. Nose leads with oak cassis cherry, notes of vanilla black fruit leather espresso toast raspberry. This is a thinking man's wine, something you can enjoy with or without food. Still has a long life ahead of it. Extremely recommended 👌

Dark cherries, cloves, cassis, some blueberries, leather and dark spices on the nose. Amazingly intense palace palate with the surprisingly almost viscous mouth feel, weighty and smooth and well melded rich fine grain tannins and a medium plus finish. pretty awesome.

A bit young, initial nose of blackberry pie, then tobacco and slight green pepper, refined on the palatte

深宝石红,黑李子、黑醋栗、蓝莓、香草、丁香的香气,高酸,高单宁,高酒精度,味道浓郁,回味悠长,虽然是相对较高的海拔(700米),仍然典型的NAPA风格,果实成熟度很高,浓郁饱满,喜欢这种风格的人应该比较喜欢

Time for this one ! Whoo Hoo ! 🍷 🧛‍♂️ 👀 = Red Rubi 👃 = Aromas of blueberry jam and dark chocolate. 👅 = Dry, classic notes of dusty Rutherford minerality and beautifully balanced French oak frame both red and dark berry flavors, with notes of graphite, cracked pepper, caramel and black tea adding depth to a long, fruit-filled finish. 🍇 = 97% Cabernet and 3% Petit Verdot.. 🛢 = French oak barrels for 12 months. 💵 USD 1188 ABV: 13.5% 🍽: Before lunch 🌎 🇺🇸 = Napa Valley 📆 = 2011 ✅ = 4.

"Wines With A View" (Capitol Grille tasting event): Notes of graham cracker, pencil shavings, and raspberry on the nose. Super concentrated and extracted fruit. Blackberry jam mixes with mashed raspberries. Oak integration is smooth and silky and brings out flavors of a smoky s’more fresh off the fire. Scorched earth, burnt wood, and charcoal undertones. I thought it was lovely.

VivinoBen Barnett2015-07-19

Wow. Hot climate. Strong tannins, tobacco and liquorice. Some early hints of dark berries but gives way to the tannins. Extra long length. Wonderful but drinking too early by a while at the moment (2015).
