Still one of my favs!!! This wine has surpassed any wine I’ve ever had. Beautiful supple, smooth, full mouth feel. Well worth the price.

I can’t begin to describe how perfect this wine is. It’s soft and leather like in the mouth, juicy blackberries, light vanilla, oak and black plum.

VivinoCSLex2021-09-18

Inky, deep ruby. Cherry, plum, blackberries, musk, stone, tobacco. Dry with moderate to high acidity, tight tannins, subtle warmth in the throat. Finishes with brighter fruit flavors thanks to the acidity and the tertiary notes play a support role.

VivinoMurray Langgard2022-04-03

I knew I was really going to enjoy this Napa Valley Cab as soon as I caught the aromas. Beautifully balanced with fine supple tannins and acidity that makes your mouth cry for more. Flavours of prime ripe blueberry, raspberry, black cherry, plum and a hint of leather and vanilla. Expertly aged in toasted oak barrels giving it a dry lingering mouth feel that is soft with a smooth full body texture. Incredibly good. You need to find this one. (4.4)

VivinoJohn Hutton2021-09-17

Excellent old world style cab, light on the nose, earthy and smooth on the palate, with subtle smokiness, lasting tannins on the finish.

Aromas of black cherry, tobacco and oak. Fruit forward wine, dark fruit prevalent. Full body, a little spice, smooth finish. Paired well with bbq steak.

VivinoShawn Fedroff2017-09-09

Swooning over this bottle! Chalk full of mulled dark berries, strong tannins which balance perfectly. Elegant, refined sugars allow the fruit to shine through.

VivinoWilliam Lake2020-05-08

Joyous, simply fantastic. On the nose 1882 has a distinct smell of shaved pencils graphite, dark fruit, and a hint of Oak. 1882 is silky smooth with rich flavors black currant, jam, and baked fruit.

Opaque red in color. Aromas of vanilla, black cherry, and earthy notes. Blackberries, plum, leather, and oak on the palate. Excellent vintage! A well balanced and evolved wine ready to be enjoyed!

VivinoBlain van Melle2020-10-10

Give it 20 min to open up and this drinks amazing. Lots of dark fruit mixed with oak, vanilla. Tannins are smooth and elegant, acidity well balanced and finish quite long.

VivinoTom Cormier2018-08-11

Reminds me of my Napa visit in 2018. A beautiful winery with so much history. I ordered this bottle because my visit was so wonderful. The winery is the most impressive and historical winery we have visited. The wine will not disappoint.

90/ 100(4.5/5)
VivinoTíbor Gál2021-01-12

Fantastic profile of flavors. Dark black fruit, earthy, soft vanilla on the nose. The sufficient acidity on the palate gives shape to the flavors of black cherry plum and blackberry. Poised while still quite voluptuous.

90/ 100(4.5/5)
VivinoRafael Ruiz2018-09-04

Fabulous Napa Cab!! Made from 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cab Franc, 5% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. Intense deep red with purple hue. Notes of black berries, vanilla, cigar, clay, pepper, oak and cinnamon. Palate full body with medium tannins and a long finish. Really enjoyable and meaty. Went well with a T-bone steak.

VivinoRuss L2017-05-03

Deep red color--youthful looking. Dry, defined nose of solid Cab fruit. All the rivets in place. Full bodied in the mouth with exact tannins balancing nicely with the considerable berry fruit. Almost sweet finish with a tannic kiss in the aftertaste. RB

VivinoRyo

初のクインテッサ、2016。 濃厚なガーネットに強いカシスのアロマ。カルメネール由来なのか、少し刺さってくるような甘じょっぱさ、それにタンニンの刺激が印象に残る。すき焼きの濃い割下とは相乗効果が強すぎたか。 間違いなくポテンシャルは高いので、変化に期待。 → 翌日、最後の2杯。期待した通りやはり今日の方が美味い。尖りがなくなり、全てにおいて落ち着きを増し、トータルでバランスが良くなった。香りもより引き立っており、それでもなおカルメネールの甘さが他のカリフォルニア産とは一線を画している印象。

VivinoIan McArthur2023-10-02

Interesting wine. Strong earthy notes in the nose. Bold wonr with big cherry leather and pepper flavours. Lots of tannin. Perfect with beef filets.

VivinoBrad W2022-11-12

This eve is a cab eve. This wine is a remnant of a wine club I was in and time to move from Argentinian wine. This poured really deep purple. The initial nose was strongly smoke and leather which gave way to dark fruit and plum. The inital mouth is dry and tannic with moderately high acidity. The tannins are layered with notes of oak. The body is a medium plus as is the finish moderately long. Fruit notes are in the late finish.

86/ 100(4.3/5)
VivinoTerry Richardson2023-03-21

3 Hour slow ox. Pours medium-deep opaque ruby. Aromas of black plums, black cherries, orange peel, earthy mushroom notes, tobacco and wild strawberries. The palate adds tart cherries, cranberry, pronounced graphite and toasted barrel spices. Medium bodied and nicely balanced with drying acidity and chewy tannins on the medium finish.

VivinoTed Wolfe2023-01-15

Aromas of oak, blackberry, vanilla, with earthy tones. More of a cherry note on the palate, transitions to a plum note over time. Medium bodied surprisingly. Great balance of tannins, gently drying texture, leathery. Developing flavors with some smoke and cedar appearing with time. Paired well with adobo pork taquitos.

VivinoCaminante_D’Vino2022-09-28

Having reduced yields in 2015 resulted in highly focused wines and made 1882 Cabernet Sauvignon an exemplary reflection of the vintage. Sweet, savory scents of cassis, forest floor, wild blackberry, cedar, and vanilla flow seamlessly into a consistent flavor impression on the palate. This wine evokes a true sensation of balance between freshness, oak integration, fruit concentration and modest alcohol. The luxurious mouthfeel and tannin structure offer the added assurance of extended cellar pote

VivinoZIYU DONG2025-11-18

Deep ruby Nose: M+ intensity, black fruit, blackberry, green bell pepper, tomato leaf, leather, earthy, graphite, ink, eucalyptus, developing. Palate: dry, high acidity, high tannin, full body, medium alcohol, blackberry, eucalyptus, tomato leaf, oak, medium+ intensity, and long finish. Good structure and blanch, pretty powerful, need a bit more decanting to smooth the tannins.

84/ 100(4.2/5)
VivinoGeorgi2022-09-03

Oak, leather, minerals, tobacco, full body, round and not pronounced tannins, higher acidity, nice minerality not topical for Napa valey, also missing the typical fruitiness for this region. But overall interesting and nice one !

With Jeff at bearfoot bistro. Cab in the middle. Not too tannic. But prickly as Jeff said? “Goes good with the old guy playing the piano”

VivinoFreddie Yu2025-11-19

Colour: deep ruby. Nose: medium and developing. Palate: dry, medium+ acidity, high tannin, high alcohol, full body, pronounced intensity, medium+ finish. Notes of cassis, blackberry, black plum, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, clove, graphite, and pencil shavings. Quality is very good. This wine shows a lot of restraint, which is an automatic win for me in the context of Napa Cab Sauv. The tannins are very grippy but ripe. Balance is good. Just needs some more patience.

ブラックチェリー,タバコ?,森林? バニラは少し時間が経ってから。 香りの強さはやや弱い? 味わいはなめらか。酸味はやや低から中程度。 口に広がる渋味がいい。 ナパっぽい甘ったるさが無いのもいいです。 全体的にミディアムな感じで。 時間の経過と共に美味しくなってくる。 ローストビーフとの相性は最高〜。

Full black fruits, firm body, and a fine grained texture. Slightly smoky. The palate is calm and pleasing. This is the kind of wine that tastes good in the strong humid winds of the southern islands. at Taketomi Island 🏝 充実した黒い果実味、しっかりとした体躯、木目の細かい舌触り。ややスモーキー。味わいは落ち着いていて好ましい。南の島の、強い湿気を含んだ風の中では、こういうワインが美味しい。 竹富島にて
