Dry, very full bodied, medium tannins and medium acidity. Decanting of 60 minutes is required to open up beautifully. Then, it becomes very nice on the nose already. Rather fruit forward Cabernet With of blackberry and a bit of plum without much oaky notes. Still it’s a very harmonious, interesting and approachable wine. Had it together with steak, which was a beautiful match. As an oak lover, I still liked this wine very much, those who are less into oak …

Mostly used this for a sauce, but poured a glass to taste. Deep ruby color, almost purple. Aromas of raspberry syrup. Medium-plus body, medium-low acid and low tannins. Flavors of dark fruits, tar, with a harsh and bitter finish. The sauce was good.

Not a particularly complex wine, but, excellent value for the price point for a Napa cab. Opened and let breathe for 1 to 1 1/2 hours before drinking. Enjoyed over the course of the evening.

A little sweet

Deep purple color. Some lavender on the nose combined with stewed cabbage. Medium bodied with low acid and medium-low tannins. Could actually taste some stewed cabbage on the palate initially too before it blew off to reveal some slate with some dark berries in a syrupy texture and some unappealing char mid-palate that continued through the finish. Was borderline undrinkable when I tried to have the remainder a few days later. I really enjoyed a bottle of this I had …

A really nice cab! It has a light a pleasant nose with a little bit of blackberry and some vanilla. It starts with such a big punch of berries that I was kind of caught off guard but enjoyed it. The feel is very velvety and the middle really mellows but the blackberry punches forward. The finish is really smooth a little acidity and a nice big kick.

With a touch of evergreen to the big Napa-ness of it all. Lots of Petite Verdot? Tractors on the label never help it sell.

Tastes primarily of red fruit with some tobacco, modest acidity, modest but coarse tannin and oak. Not complex but enjoyable with a chuck roast.

Lacks richness and tannins are a little rough so I can't rate this any higher. I am surprised at the people who rated it higher and if they are honest reviewers. I have been to the Round Pond winery and they have some very nice wine albeit a lot more expensive.

Picked this up at the local grocery store after really enjoying a glass at RPM Steak. Took about an hour in the decanter to open up but after it did was a luscious fruit forward wine with strong dark cherry nose. We each wanted another glass after the bottle was empty -- definite repeat purchase (sub $30 online). Paired with braised short ribs and mashed potatoes.

We bought this wine after having it at Birch Hill Tavern in CT.

Drinking this on the reg lately and it's a good one. Little fruity and flabby but that's why people like it.

Tasted blind Lots of fruit coming off this one with not much time in the decanter 30-40 min. Nose was jammy and of cherry, blueberry, blackberry, vanilla, dark Indonesian tobacco, split oak and white pepper. The mouthfeel was velvety and smooth with a palate of cherry, blackberry, and blackberry all very tight and medicinal yet. The finish went on and on long a of balanced velvet like the jam was peeling of your tongue and played off of the fruit …
