This wine smells like it's late to the party, but it tastes like it's 1999. Pucker up! Bright, tart cherries. Blackberries and mint. Cedar and tea leaves. Tannins are mellow and this wine has a smooth lengthy finish. A great value Napa!

Apparently I've had this one other time, but I don't remember the poop smell. Maybe it's not the wine! 😳
Opened this last night and the merde was strong. Tonight, the nose is very pleasant on this cheapo Bordeaux. Tastes like dark berries, herbs, a little mint and sage. It's good considering the price!

I've had the Cabernet Sauvignon, why not the Merlot? Whew! Big whiff of smoke and savory stuff. Tastes like thick grape skins, blackberries, blueberries, a pinch of nutmeg. Anything but Merlot. Hmm.

Clunky and forgettable. Light on fruit, heavy on herbs, green stuff, earth.

A very light-bodied raspberry bomb. A little bitter leafy undertone. Would be easy to imbibe this in mass quantities.

I'm not sure what happened to the yellow label with the little dancing guy on it. This is a pleasing sipper, with bright, tart fruit and plenty of acid. One dimensional, but a crowd pleaser and good with pork tenderloin and roasted spaghetti squash.

I'm always happy when I drink this. The nose is so warm. Hard to decipher fruit under the smell of oatmeal. It smells like a bowl of oatmeal, specifically the apple cinnamon Quaker oatmeal. Smells great on a freezing night. Tastes great, too. Dark berries and plums with toothy tannins. Pairs well with spaghetti and Italian sausage, which is not approved by my Jewish friends.

Popped and poured while I prep dinner. Nice medley of red and dark fruit, with bitter tobacco leaf and soil. Well balanced, juicy and chewy and very good.

Solid Sonoma Cab that tastes like Left Bank Bordeaux. Supple feel, dark berries, cedar, graphite, tobacco. A little eucalyptus and a little espresso. Lengthy tannins. Drinkable now and will age for some time.
