My partner doesn’t eat red meat, so it’s rare I can open up a big California Cabernet. But tonight she was working so I cooked myself a steak, and boy howdy is this a steak wine. Nose is dark red berries, graphite, and wood (but more wood shavings than oak/vanilla.) The palate is lush and full bodied without much in the way of tannins. Some alcoholic warmth, but not as hot as these wines can sometimes get. Definitely more oak on the palate than in the nose. Overall an enjoyable Napa Cab, but maybe not worth the price point.
