Reviews & Scores
This tasting reinforces my view that the 2013 is the most complete Ovid yet. Dark, powerful and vertical in its sense of structure, the 2013 possesses terrific intensity, with a backbone of firm tannin that will allow the wine to age gracefully for many years. I wouldn’t dream of touching a bottle before age ten. Vivid and exceptionally balanced, the 2013 Ovid captures all the pedigree that is such a signature of this great Napa Valley vintage.
VM98February 2017
A red with blackberry and licorice aromas and flavors. Hints of coffee. Medium to full body, firm and chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Solid red here. Muscular.
JS93December 2016
A dense, powerful expression of loamy earth, crushed rock and gravelly dark berry, shaded by firm, cedary oak. Dense and tannic, this begs for cellaring, though the flavors keep unfolding on the finish.
WS94September 2016
A fresh and primary nose of crushed blackcurrant reveals lovely incipient complexity in the form of subtle tar and warm chapparal (the aromatic thorny scrub that grows in Napa's eastern hills), introducing a fresh, bright and refined wine structured around layers of finely detailed tannins. This sophisticated bottling from the thoughtful Austin Peterson is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Cabernet Franc—a variety which thrives on the exposed slopes of Pritchard Hill.
DC95May 2016
The 2013 Proprietary Red, a slightly different blend from the 2012 of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Cabernet Franc, is a much smaller production of 350 cases. This wine, which ratchets up the level of intensity, has an opaque purple color and a beautiful nose of blackberry, blueberry and cassis as well as hints of espresso, white flowers, and subtle background toast. The wine hits the palate with a cascade of gorgeous fruit, sweet tannin, great delineation and acidity, and a long, velvety, voluptuously textured mouthfeel. This big, inky, thick, juicy wine should age beautifully for 25-30 years.
