The most unexciting Cabernet. Bitter on the tip of your tongue and lack of flavor on back of your palette. Very disappointed. Lack of burst fruit forward.

This wine has a spicy nose. The fruit is modest but you get some cranberry and blueberry. The wine is pretty dry which I liked. There is an earthy or vegetable undertone as well. The finish is modest, that was something of a letdown in a Napa cab of this vintage. The finish improved a little and the wine a lot after breathing for about 30 minutes. For $20 at Costco, this was not too bad. You could probably do better though.

Jammy, medium-bodied, slightest hint of chocolate and leather. Price is right.
