Solid wine with nice fruit. Blackberry. Nice suave finish- not overpowering.

Oct 17th, 2013Surprise of the holiday season. Bright fruit, big tannins. Oak a little heavy put pretty damn good for a 10 year old $25 wine. Sippin it hard.

Dec 21st, 2017Lovely garnet color. Fruit and spice and vanilla on the nose. Soft tannins with a lingering finish. A very nice, inexpensive wine. I'm sad to say the last bottle from the case. I believe it's really reaching its full potential now.

Mar 31st, 2016Loved this 2007 napa cab. Deep, dark fruit, medium to full body, great flavor. Better after 15 minutes in the air.

Oct 15th, 2015Intense tannins that, to my taste, overpower other qualities. Even with time out of the bottle, this wine did not open up. Exceptionality tight - perhaps even "hard" - is a good characterization. Certainly don't look for anything lush here.
