This has been a cellar staple of mine since release. Has only gotten better with age.

Fathers day was a great success thanks to Grimm's Bluff. Needed a last minute gift for my dad and i know he loves their cabs. Ordered 3 bottles at 4pm on a Friday and they had it shipped out by the next morning and my dad received the wines Sunday morning! Great service and great wines. If you need a gift, grimms won't let you down!
