It’s so light that it’s closer to a rose or something. This is a brunch cab and certainly has its market. That market is just not me.

It has nice tannins. It has hints of Chocolate. It has a nice finish and it opens up nicely. It also has nice legs

Wow. Disappointed. Expecting typical Oak dominated Cab. Not that. Mineral, terroir driven? Not that. Not after DP and Chateau St. Jean.

Very good, but not quite excellent. Required aeration and a few minutes of swirling to fully open up. Nice smoky nose; the fruit definitely took a backseat there. Medium-to-heavy body with a fair bit of currant and earth tones, with a good "smoked" quality to it after it had opened up for us. Bought this as a gift with one to drink and one to send home with them; would definitely do this again.

Not sweet at all. Maybe a little acidic. Smooth finish but a bit of an aftertaste.

Unmistakeable Napa mouth feel. This wine is ready to drink right after opening, but 30 minutes of air will smooth it out even more. Tart, strong tannins, and a full mouth feel, with oak, blackberry, chocolate and tobacco. A very good value for the price.

Notes of blackberry and cherry with some tannins and just a little spice. Was better on first night, then on second.

Good fruit and oak. Vanilla and cedar on nose. Nice tannic finish. Not amazing but a lot there for $16.

The wine looks Crimson colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Blackberry, and Oak. It tastes like Blackberry, Oak, Black Pepper, and Chocolate. The body is Medium. The wine has Satin-like texture. The wine finishes Medium.

Nose of plums and cedar, as well as oak. Closed on day one, it really began to shine through after a second tasting.
