$20 (Invino in 2013) Napa 2010 Big Vine Cabernet Sauvignon aging well for the price. Mid-garnet, brick/amber rim, viscous (14.2 alc.); herbaceous, cassis, smokey, mint nose; mid acids; softening tannins; semi-long berry and mint finish. 16/90.

This is drinking entirely consistently with my last note from a few years ago, although the tannins are pretty integrated at this point. It's drinking great right now, and I think would be good through another year or two standalone like I'm doing tonight, or with burgers or steak sandwiches and such. 88-89

I concur w/ others in that this is a good QPR cab at the $14 I paid. Dense, opaque coloring with purplish ruby at the edges. Aromas of cassis, blueberry, plum, black cherry, dark chocolate, a smokey, toasty oak note, and graphite. Medium body, medium(+) acid and finish, lightly grippy tannins (I'm drinking this w/out food), and flavors of dark and dark red fruits, complimentary oak spice, and a touch of mineral. Mid-palate's a little hollow, but overall hard to …

This is smoothing out and drinking even better now than 1-2 years prior. Delicious stuff.

Not sure about the low scores for this wine. I've been able to experience at least 4 vintages of this wine and each one is just simply good and reliable. They are never overly complex or sophisticated. But, what they are...are nicely balanced, highly drinkable, and a good blend of both old and new world wine making with some really nice nuances. Oak is just enough of a touch to give the wine some round creaminess on the finish to …

Solid Napa cab for the $. Good fruit with a little bit of a bite. Won't knock your socks off but a good showing. Went well with our elk meat loaf.

Consistent impressions with last note almost a year ago. This has softened - drink over the next 2-3 years. I don't think it's a long-term ager.

PnP as a replacement as my original bottle planned to open that night was flawed. Ripe and fruity and oaky, plums on the palate. while not terrible, was a little too flabby for me, and I am a person who generally likes this style. Not bad for $14, but dson't think it drinks above that price point.

An oaky and ripe style but great for the price. Quite smooth.

This has the unmistakable qualities of a Napa cab and drinks like it should be $30-$40. It's not complex, but very satisfying on the nose and palate. A great pick up at $15 from Last Bottle. Same tasting notes as others before me. Drink now.

Great bottle for the money (I would have pegged it as a $35 cab if I had drank it blind). Some vanillin from the oak but not overwhelming. Pleasant fruit forward style.

Just seems like it could have been much better. Plenty of fruit, just nit much structure. Tannins never lost their rough edge even over three days.Hopefully the next bottle better.

Really nice everyday Napa cab. Black fruit with a hint of creme de cassis. Enjoyable wine and excellent QPR.

Very pronounced oak flavor, definitely a lighter style of cab, with bright sweet cassis and some chocolate cherry finish. Doesn't feel like it's a long-term keeper.

QPR play. Unmistakeable Napa Cab: ripe plums, cassis in a medium to full body. Persistent finish. Some additional complexity would vault this into the low 90s for me. As it is, really enjoyable as a bigger midweek wine to pair with burgers or flank steak. Tannins are present but not dominating; drink now over the next 4 years.

Interesting that someone else thought this wine was better the first night. My experience with my first bottle was exactly the opposite: significantly better the THIRD night! I'd say it was 89 vs 87, so let's call it an 88.
