What reviewers say
“Opening, and be sure to decant, I noticed a very dark enticing red color, with a nose of black and blue fruits, and complex spices. The taste develops nicely showing black berries and cherries with some sweet raspberries, tangy spice, oak and cacao with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. The finish lingers nicely and ends elegantly. This wine will complement a steak as well as a milder dish, and will not disappoint. Grab a Bear Point, if you can find one! Delicious! Only 511 cases were made.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This Cabernet block is situated between 1,000 and 1,200 feet in a cooler spot below the fogline, hence the bandwidth of avors leans to electric blue/red fruits—which is unique from the mountain. Floral, dried blueberry and orange peel notes lift out of the glass along with red currant and pomegranate. The texture is seamless and elegant, with ne-grained tannins.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 94.
