Had the 2016 vintage at Oak Dallas. Had an earthy dusty brambly quality with dark fruits. Paired nicely with grilled Tri-tip of beef. — 7 years ago

This was a dynamite Cab for the price! We enjoyed it with the great Italian cooking of Chef Bartolino at Amici in Carrollton, TX. It paired will with a double cut pork chop and at only $35 a bottle, it was a tremendous value! — 10 years ago

Purchased a magnum for a Halloween gathering at Total Wine in Dallas. The large format made quite the impression and the wine within did not disappoint. Lots of bright fruit flavors - raspberry, ripe blackberries, and plum. Just right amount of oak with hints of spice. Would definitely purchase again and at $80, it’s a steal! — 5 years ago

Brought this to a Christmas gathering of friends and it didn't disappoint. Great nose and mouth feel. Flavors redolent of star anise, cola, a hint of cassis. May have benefited from a few more years in the bottle, but good to drink now. — 8 years ago

Drank this bottle last night at a Christmas party after purchasing for$79 at Central Market. It did not disappoint. Lots of structure, good tannins, luscious fruit. It was the star of the evening and outshined the 2013 Joseph Phelps we opened afterwards. — 6 years ago

Had higher expectations for this wine. It was merely okay as it did not live up to its billing. — 8 years ago
