I have not tried them, so some blind faith involved.
You can (and probably should) take it with a grain of salt, but the winery says they are better than the 2016. Jeb Dunnuck says, “Both of the 2017s showed beautifully and are certainly in the same ballpark as the 2016s. The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley will be crazy good for the price and boasts a rounded, sexy style as well as upfront notes of black raspberries, cassis, orange blossom, and dried flowers.”
Okay, make it 98. I really wasn’t referring to any particular wine. It just seems like I associate JD with a score of 97. It was more of a reaction to JD’s statement of “crazy good” - how can anyone not like it if JD says its crazy good… nevermind.
if he deserves some criticism for score inflation on more of the macro level, maybe there is some truth to that, or at least could be discussed elsewhere. and i concur, ‘crazy good’ leaves something to be desired. but, this is a producer with a score above 97 in an above average vintage with trb as the winemaker… i don’t see the need to hate on jeb for this singular score/review.
Is anyone else having trouble getting their wine shipped? It was supposed to ship out on 11/11 but nothing. I have emailed and gotten no response.
Will just emailed me and we are all good now.
