Lots of ripe red fruit, and perfume aromas, along with vanilla. Juicy plum, vanilla ripe cherry, oak, caramel, and cocoa. I expected more from this.

Amazing QPR on this cab. Nice oaky notes and a smooth finish with mild tannins, a very well aged cab that drinks nicely with or without big meat.

A decent low end cab. A bit unbalanced.

This Napa Cabernet rolls in with a medium-full body, cloaked in the kind of confidence that only a bottle of wine could pull off. It boasts a deep garnet ruby—so dramatic, it’s clearly seen more late nights than your average bartender. Oak and leather are there, whispering their overhyped secrets, while crushed rocks and damp earth reminisce on the grime of a life that forgot to slow down. Dark berries throw their little party—boysenberry, blackberry, blueberry—while vanilla and coffee tag …

Deep garnet ruby, initial hints of oak, leather, lead, crushed rocks and moist earth. Dark berries particularly boysenberry, blackberry and blueberry. Medium body with decent weight on the palate, well layered and good balanced acidity. The finish is good. This is a quintessential Napa Cabernet at a bargain price.

Bright red fruit and baked strawberries on the nose. Berry cobbler, vanilla extract and coffee bean. Delicious, and improves further into the bottle.

Really good! This did not disappoint. Such a nice balance flavor profile. I am no connoisseur by any stretch or even significant enthusiast but I always dislike something that is monochrome and a bit boring. This was a bit higher priced than we normally purchased at $33 and it was well worth it to share with family. vanilla oak black cherry @ chocolate blueberry

Good solid Napa Cabernet although it has lost some complexity over the years compared to the days of Charles Krug lineage, not Mondavi. In all good dark fruits like blackberry, boysenberry and a hint of white pepper, just a tad of blueberry mid palate. Very smooth, medium acidity, easy to drink wine. It's a good go to when forced to shop at big box grocery stores where top end are not readily available.

Lemon grass and strawberry cream on the nose. Strawberries and white pepper, with a silky finish. Light acidity and medium tannins.

The wine starts with florals like violets, then shows jammy cherry and blackberry. The palate is full bodied but unfortunately shows some residual sugar along with minimal tannin and acid. "Typical" entry level Napa Cab. I think you're better off looking at other places if you want to rich wine for 35 dollars.

I didn’t want to like this but I did anyway. A little raisined on the fruit, but technically right, and with good balance. Spicy, cassis, prune, oak is very unobtrusive.

Open knit, with creme de cassis, cocoa, and fancy oak. Wonderfully structured, lovely weight, and has that wonderful balance between brightness, fruit, and savory minerality. Always a treat.

This '20 'Intercept' from Charles Woodson Wines was poured during my sister's graduation week. This was more of a taste check to see what these wines are like as my brother is a Raiders fan. No official TNs as this is part of my review transferring from Vivino to CT. Notes from Vivino include, "dark berry, blackberry, stave like oak flavors. Ripeness seems high, leading to a jammy like finish." I scored this wine 87 points.

Served on my flight from Houston to London (United Polaris). Deep dark purplish magenta color. Blueberry, fig paste, gravel, vanilla, and anise. Smooth, dry, full bodied palate. Firm tannins on the medium finish. Easy drinker that is quite good for the money. There’s an overall blueberry Fig Newton sort of vibe. This is essentially Prisoner for half the price. It grew much richer over 30 min in my glass.
