Referral. This vintage has had time to smooth out any tannins. Good fruit, more red berry that black fruit. Good table wine for this price point.

Good value wine, but didn't have the depth I was looking for in a Cab. Came in wine club box ($20 & under bottles). Would not purchase again.

Wonderful nose of dark berries on the open. Quickly dissipated in to a heated nose of alcohol. I have one more in the cellar.

A bit disappointing - chalky when first opened, but it did improve when finished on the next day. clearly needs a lot of breathing.

Had with friends so no formal notes but this one disappointed. High toned, all but missing fruit, with spiced mineral and firm acidity. Not much left here as I think the drinking window has passed. That said my company was happy to polish off the bottle so there is still a glass half full story here somewhere…

Nose of black currant, casis and mocha. A medium bodied wine w/cedar/cigar box on the finish. OK at best.

Ruby turning to garnet, fairly deep. Blackberries, vanilla, anise on the nose. Mid-bodied, sweet, with soft tannins and good acidity. Fairly long finish.

Pretty decent - smooth, with a sweet nose. Not extraordinary, but good for the price.

Not much to think of. Not well balanced. Didn't like it.

Nice concentration on the nose of black fruit with notes of spice. Medium bodied and juicy in the mouth. Not much complexity or depth, but for the price it's a good everyday drinking cabernet.

No formal notes at consumption. Deep coloring and rich but moderate aromas of currant and black cherry. Medium bodied and juicy. Enjoyed by the group. Worth trying again. In the good to very good range (84-87).

Complicated cab flavor, typical staq's leap flavor profile, good value for dinner wine
