What can I say, this was really underwhelming. This Napa Cab has typical aromas of blackberry, currant, vanilla and cigar smoke. The tannins were so integrated they basically disappeared. I kept swirling and saying, "this is just so... flabby!" Did not stand up to my porterhouse steak. Not the worst wine, but not nearly as good as the Shiraz I rated before from the same producer. Not worth the $20 price tag.

Nice fruit on the nose. Black cherry and mocha. Smooth drinker. Decent structure. A solid choice at this price point. It did not disappoint!
