About the Producer
Vice is a stock character of the medieval morality plays. While the main character of these plays was representative of every human being, the other characters were representatives of personified virtues or vices who sought to win control of man's soul. While the virtues in a morality play can be seen as messengers of God, the vices were viewed as messengers of the Devil.

Classic Napa cab. A little strawberry jam on the nose. Tannic. I get dark chocolate notes. Love the fact that it’s additive free and sustainability grown. Would buy again
Awesome Cab! Terrific value for the price. We all know it’s difficult to find a great Cabernet at an affordable price from Napa Valley. This wine delivers for the price.
Get this again. Buttery Chardonnay
Wine packs a ton of fruit from beginning to end! Muscular, yet youthful. Notes of blackberry, plum fruit. Which then grips the palate towards cedar, black cherry, and cedar. Generously long finish. It definitely overdelivers for the price point. And the wine is unfiltered? Wow!
one of my faves
Very easy to drink full bodied wine . Can drink hot
Best overall value of taste and smoothness I’ve had
Bought on last bottle and really enjoyed. Will purchase again.
Very smooth. It was served chilled making it enjoyable as well. Deep flavors
Nice, full bodied dry red. Good finish.
Favorite cab ever
Okay, only a 4.15 or so, but for the price, this wine is a sleeper! Smooth and drinkable immediately! I like a little chill on it, but it has nice currant and dark cherry
Great value cab, well rounded…drink now
Very smooth. No bitterness. Great wine for all occasions.
Bought this delicious bottle from the winemaker directly at my favorite shop PJ Wine. He told me that this was bottled 30 something days ago and it came from 99% Mt. Veeder Cab and 1% Carneros Merlot (Truchard). Juicy and rich, blackberry, stone, graphite, coffee and chocolate flavors intermingle in a modestly complex wine. This is heck of a value. Would love to see how it develops.
Dry as the desert, blackberry, vanilla, oak.
Delicious, rich notes, hint of vanilla and honey
Juicy, plum, black currant.
Nice flavors of cherry with tobacco
WBTG Old Homestead NYC Dry and tannic. Dark chocolate lava cake ish. Soil, leather and great paired with a rib eye and lobstah mac.
Drinking a very good cab from Napa. Black currant, blackberry, plum, chocolate, and vanilla on the nose. Fruity with lots of everything, plum, chocolate, blackberry, and vanilla.
It’s got all the cab stuff. Musty truffles on the nose, mostly black berry flavor. And a smooth finish that hangs around for a while. Don’t drink this one too fast….you’ll miss some great nuances. Or the heck with nuances, enjoy!
If beautiful plum and blackberry fruit up front and oak and leather behind is your idea of a good Cabernet, then this wine is perfect. At $19 a bottle from lastbottle, buy a case and enjoy it for the next decade. This is a beauty.
I love this wine for $25. It’s exactly what I want in a Napa cab at an excellent price. Juicy, dark fruit forward, and smooth
Big Cali red with immediate notes of chocolate, oak plum and vanilla. Leather and baking spice on the finish.

Great body and depth. Opens up well after letting it breathe in a carafe. Lingers well. Best suited for rich foods or desserts.
Classic cab. Fruit, but not super bright. Rich but not super tannic.
I am going through a case of this wine that I picked up at a great price ($19.99). I have to repeat that this is a bang for the buck. What a great wine for larger dinner parties or any party. Very nice and very versatile! Cheers!
Ruby/ purple in color with a wide reddish rim. Strong nose of black fruits with light cedar, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices and black pepper. Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate with black plums, currants, cherries, chocolates, light cedar, herbs, peppercorn and black licorice. Tangy finish with medium tannins and tangy raspberries. This is a very tasty Napa Cabernet. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and entertaining.

Smooth boozy dark berries.
Smooth res fruit $28 at Total Wine
No extensive notes. Deep ruby color. Nose: Blackberry and forest floor. Palate: Dark fruit. Heavy mineral, tobacco. Nice value wine.
For the price?? Are you kidding me! Huge bang for the buck. Dark fruit and smoke on the nose…. Fruit forward that holds and holds till a nice dry finish that lasts in the back of the mouth.
Black cherry, plum, fig, cedar aromas. Soft, velvety on the palate, medium acidity, medium tannins, black cherry, baking spices/cinnamon, black pepper, tobacco and a long spice finish. Nicely balanced!
Classic napa valley cab sav. Highly recommend. Oaky nose, juicy and long finish. Really nice and round.
Solid wine. Might try again.
Wild Honey Smooth, flavorful

Fruity, light
Great wine ! Just bought a case because it’s is a great wine ! Give it a try
Great for the price. Lots of oak and chocolate with some blackberry.
Well balanced though Sweet but not too sweet
standard napa cab
Still a little young. Currants and black cherries up front. Add dark chocolate, oak and leather in a long finish. It will age well. $19 from last bottle!!
Light bodied Cab. Cherry, some Blackberry, acidic. I miss the typical full bodied Cab taste, but in its own it’s a nice wine, maybe for a warm day outside?
Done ! Whoo Hoo ! 🍷🧛♂️ 👀 = Deep garnet-purple in color. 👃 = Mandarin orange oil, dark sour cherry and black plum aromatics. 👅 = Concentrated red fruits and black cassis mingle with hoisin and roasted hazelnut. 🍇 = Cabernet Sauvignon 🛢 = Aged fo 18 months, 66% new French oak 💵 USD 19 ABV: 15% 🌎 🇺🇸 = Napa Valley 📆 = 2018 ✅ = 4.0
Great Cabernet, especially for being so young and at such an approachable price point (sipping the 2018 in 2020). Raspberry, black cherry, and a slight green pepper on the nose, followed by loads of spice on the palate. Good acidity. Definitely let this open up before drinking, it’ll evolve in your glass and release better balanced flavors. Great acidity for pairing with food. Steak, anyone? • gifted sample
The Vice,2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is a very nice dark red wine full of delicious flavors like plum, blackberry, chocolate caramel, with notes of baking spices,herbs,& cedar. This full bodied wine ends with a long, velvety, sweet pepper finish. A definite taste again wine!
Black currant and smoke and the tannins.... Not bad for a young winery. Tasted at the Tramonte & Sons tasting at The Cellar, 10/23/24.
Pretty good day 1 not good at all day 2
Oak, blackberry and cherry. Medium bodied.
Gets me pissed.
Slightly better than the last. Rough wine night.
It’s fine. Drinkable. Fruit. Not a whole lot going on in terms of complexity
Second glass from different bottle. Consistent, which means no different. Would prefer a fruitier cab but good for those who like dry and oak.
high acid dry low tannin blackberry, woodsy on nose, mint on nose , raspberry
Was not impressed! Red and black fruit on the nose. Red cherry, blackberry, perhaps black currant. Some chocolate. Biting acidity.
Avg cali swill. No repeat.
It’s OK as a daily drinker for $20, but I wouldn’t pay more or expect more.
Nice - yet not worth the $ ! staid (1) dimensional red. 3.8 max - disappointing for moneys paid.
Very light and crisp, almost spearmint on first taste. Quick, long legs reflect this. Main body is a tart cherry that abruptly gives way to a tannic, dry finish. If you’re going to drink a red on a hot day, this is a good choice.
