Santa Ynez Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

Cherry, plum, blackberry nose. Nice structure/tannins—goes well with beef. Smooth, lingering finish

Very nice

Jelly aroma Nice creamy cab Bit acidic

Clear and dark red; lightly fruit forward; cherry, leather, tobacco at the finish.

Similar notes, although I did notice a bit of Cab Franc-y vegetal notes up front and on the way to the finish. Still great overall, although this particular bottle fell a bit flat when compared to the other two I've had.

Improved a bit over the past six months. It did pair beautifully with beef, and there's plenty of structure left to age for a decade or more. A wonderful example of Walla Walla Cab.

Good if left open awhile and slightly chilled. Had with ribs.

Aromas of ripe red cherry, dusty road, and a hint of cedar. Really well balanced with similar flavors, a decent amount of oak, and firm tannins. Drinks really well on its own, but would be even more delicious with a nice seared steak.

Anonym californisk carbernet. Absolut drinkable med en fin duft af solbær, chokolade og vanille. Smagen er over i Ribenaafdelingen uden særlig meget krop. Kort eftersmag, der ikke efterlader et stort indtryk hos mig.

Jammy nose of black and blue fruit, cedar, oak, and a little forest action. The palate is bright, lively, and sweet, showing an open, fruit forward personality and a mid-to-full weight frame.

Sort of a middle of the road cab suav. a bit on the fruity side without much depth or c.s. characteristics to distinguish it. Mid ruby colored, mild tannins, fruity nose with a short finish.

Great value for an under $10 midweek cab that delivers... from a very good vintage, even for the central coast. This has excellent fruit, unobtrusive oak and a good finish after a medium midpalate of mixed berries and light vanilla notes. Got 90pts from WineReviewOnline and a gold at the Central Coast Wine competition (where/what ever that is) and many will no doubt agree. I want to compare this, blind if possible with the 2012 ColumbiaCrest H3 cab I popped …

Bright purple color. Cool red and black berry fruit on the nose, some spicy cedar and oak, a bit tight and hesitant, requiring time to open up to show some underlying earth and pine forest notes. Medium to light tannins, very fine, with a moderate dose of acid. The black cherry and dark plum is ripe but also showing some tartness. Notes of pine resin, menthol and cedar accent the fruit, some mocha lingering on the finish. Bright and lively.
