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。 标签：2006年，美乐，品丽珠，赤霞珠，加利福尼亚州，浮士德，Faust，马尔贝克，纳帕谷，小味儿多，Quintessa，红葡萄酒，酒评，酒
青椒味，并有悠悠的麝香草味道。有一丝黑莓的味道，但没有强烈的水果味和柔和的草本味道。不过这款酒当然是意大利的日常畅饮的不二之选。搭配意大利面条或者香肠都是好的选择。推荐级别。 标签：2009年，意大利，普里米蒂沃，Primitivo, 普利亚，Puglia，红葡萄酒，酒评，Vini del Sole，酒

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-read more-
Hints of nutmeg, thyme, and mint on the nose. Unfortunately, does not live up to promise. Opens with promise but doesn’t follow through. Somewhat thin and vapid, short in the middle and finish. Not terribly interesting. Not recommended. WHO: Chateau-read more-
An elegant offering from Washington’s Columbia Valley. Alcohol on the nose (14.5%) initially obscures the lovely treats underneath of cedar, anise, and fresh leather. Crisp on the palate, soft tannins, and expressive flavors of dark cherry and blackcurrant. At first-read more-
There is a lot of hype flying around about the 2008 Oregon Pinot Noirs. This is one that justifies it. Lovely nose of rose petals, star anise, and ripe berry with some slight cedar undertones. Opens up with rich, focused-read more-
