Doug Barr asked me one time years ago who I would recommend if he was looking for a new winemaker. Without hesitation I told him Celia Masyczek. He nodded approvingly and within a few months guess who was making the wine? I don't doubt I just confirmed a decision he already had made. Regardless, one of my favorite winemakers makes wine for some of my favorite owners in the valley. There has been a steady rise in the quality here since Celia began making the wines. <br><br/> Bold and extracted nose with hints of coffee and black walnuts the palate is smooth and polished with dark fruit intensity. Nice tannins on finish. This is the best example of 2480 produced to date.

One of the best cabs from napa I have had in quite a while. Fabulous aromas with dark red fruit, rich, elegant, and balanced. The complexity and silky texture were in every sip and I couldn't get enought. Worth every penny.

Very nice wine. That great dirt from Rutherford, and Celia, combine for a classic deep dark fruit wine with well integrated and smooth tannins. A great steak wine.

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
