Took this bottle to our friends house, decanted before drinking. Very good wine, went well with the roast we had for dinner.

Choked down half a glass and dumped the rest down the kitchen sink. Felt bad for the sink. One word: Alcoholic. This garbage should be avoided at all costs.

Nice wine but not enough going on. Finish and nose were weak.

Just ok. Got a little better after opening up but just not a lot of body and taste to this one.

saw all the bad reviews but I thought this wine was pretty good. A little on the Oaky side but still a great table wine at a good price.

Pretty green and stalky. Not bad, but not our favorite. Interesting contrast with Koenig's cab made from the same grapes.

Split verdict on the wine. What I loved about it was what my wife didn't like about it. There is a great peppery finish that I like in a cab. I could drink this everyday.

Served at a pool party and guests seemed to like it. Wine is not overly memorable, but enjoyed by the group. Dark berries with a little vanilla.

Better than expected based on previous bottles of this wine. Decent wine for weekday drinking.

PNP and it tasted closed with no fruit or structure. Let sit for a couple hours and noticed a bit of fruit but still no structure. Very disappointed.

Ok but I was hoping for more. Overall unremarkable.

very disappointed with this one. No fruit, no finish, no structure. Find something else to try in this price range.

Wine Spectator rated this wine 90 and I think that is in the ballpark. Good quality for the price.

Not quite as good as the 2007, but quite good. Similar in flavors and aromas (red berries with blueberries) just a little less intense, but similarly excellent job of oaking with soft delicious toffee and vanilla flavors.

Second day open. Has that WA green tobacco notes to it. Finish is a bit hard. I prefer the Merlot in this cheaper"line extension" from Waterbrook. Nate notes coffee, stemy, bakers chocolate.
