Brand allocation out. Anyone taking this?

Brand allocation is out. Melka is the winemaker. Price point pretty steep. Anyone have any tasting notes or comments on the wine? Thanks.

They are on my list of visits I will be making during 9 days in the valley in a couple weeks, the Napa report will be in early November.

Just. Insane. Seriously. Don’t care who they are, where the grapes from, what it tastes like. Just insane.

I enthusiastically bought the first vintage of Levy and Mcclellan.

I had the 2009 twice last year with similar experiences. My simple notes: Bryant Family-like. Refined black fruit. Complexity and understated density of an expensive pedigreed cab. 95+ today but will rise with age. Second experience: Great balance and complexity, understated weight. 95

Really well made wine. Love Pritchard Hill. For my palate and the same price, I’m a bigger fan of Ovid by far.
