"Wow. Breathtaking views in Napa surpassed only by what is quite possibly the best wine I have ever had. Everything about this experience is next level and we were even hosted by the winemaker, Austin, who has apparently been making wine at OVID for over 20 years (!!!), and it shows! The wine is powerful yet incredibly precise, with depth, structure, and a finish that goes on and on. Unlike most Napa Cabernet, it's ready to drink now and yet so clearly has incredible cellaring potential. A hidden gem and a truly magical experience. Bravo."
