Full bodied, acidic dark fruit flavor which lightens as it opens to up to become much more enjoyable. Not a bad choice for an everyday — 10 years ago

Very good California cab. Opens up very nicely. Still could use some again, strong/deep fruit aromas and taste — 10 years ago

Deep, not overly complex, nice berries with a non intrusive acidity. One of my go-to's for the price — 10 years ago

7.5

A decent cab for the price but certainly would not consider to be a good wine or representation of California cab. Good for a casual weekday pour. — 10 years ago
