“Wow, these cabs remind me of the classic Napa cabs of the 70’s. I love ’em!” exclaimed my friend as he reacted to a vertical tasting of our SLD cabs.

Thus the quandary... Do we make classically elegant wines we love or wines that are more acceptable to the media and the marketplace? We chose love.
