Decent wine with yellow peaches , stone fruits , minerals , and very slightly acidic to add structure . It’s fairly easy to drink and enjoy now but it might improve with a little more time in the bottle . I would buy again . — 2 months ago

What a nice find ! I’m Leary of the 2020 vintages from Napa due to the fires, but this vintage was excellent. A dark purple well balanced Cabernet shows itself well . At $70 per bottle this is a solid value . Complex and a nice finish , it reminds me of some of my favorite California cabs . Of course , having a link from Duckhorn and Winemaker of the year Tony Biaggi always helps ! — a year ago

Smooth , fruit forward , minimal tannins . I would purchase the lower end Chianti next time . Not worth $42 . It’s decent but not significantly better than the $20 bottle . — 2 years ago

Lovely Sinegal estate wine . I was fortunate enough to find this at Costco for $79 which is a great value ! Lovely dark plum fruit on the palate followed by a wave of flavors such as blackberry, cocoa , and slightly toasted oak on the lingering finish . — 3 months ago

Interesting, my Costco it is $59.99. The one thing less expensive in Ca is wine. Everything else, more expensive.

This red blend starts a bit harsh . But after you take that first big swallow , the subsequent swallows are nice . Plenty of structure and flavors , this is a nice value at $30 per bottle . — 3 years ago
