"I went here awhile back for my sister-in-law's birthday. We had a tasting and it was a wonderful experience. The gentleman who took care of us was so informative of the region and explained their wines in enthusiastic detail. After tasting all the delicious wines, I got their 2017 Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon. It's the best wine I've ever had. It was smooth and well balanced. My family and I visited recently because my dad wanted another Clone 6 to open for Thanksgiving. We accidentally entered through the barrel room and the woman who assisted us was incredibly welcoming. She took us to a room with couches so we can be comfortable while my dad filled out the purchase form and asked if we wanted to taste anything. We kindly declined but now looking back I should've said yes lol. And the barrel room smelled so good: oaky with notes of red wine. And the space is beautiful. The patio is lovely with lots of seating overlooking the vines and mountains. It's just a welcoming atmosphere overall with incredible wines. I highly recommend visiting here if you're ever in Napa."
