“This new wine wowed me. It's rich and satisfying and oh-so-smooth, with soft mineral and and fruit flavors, a tiny hint of mint chocolate, and impeccable balance."⁠.

– Elin McCoy, “Best New Wine of the Month,” Bloomberg 
 

“The wine shows dark mulberry and blackberry flavors married to noticeable lift and freshness in the form of iris and violet notes. It finishes with more lipsmacking acidity than a typically broad-shouldered and tannic-driven Rutherford Cabernet.”

– James Molesworth, “Two Pinot Noir Specialists Partner on a Napa Cabernet,” Wine Spectator 
 

“Trailside Vineyard isn’t open to the public—but then, you’re not the public. This is your invitation to step inside Napa’s most talked-about new vineyard alongside Carlton McCoy himself, the sommelier-turned-vintner rewriting the rules of American Cabernet. For one extraordinary day, McCoy will be your personal guide through the 85-acre Rutherford estate where he’s joined forces with Burgundy’s Domaine Dujac to craft a wine that already has collectors clamoring.”
