Very berry notes of strawberry, raspberry, and dark cherry. Stone minerality notes with licorice and a tartness. Smooth with a nice finish. — 6 months ago
Light straw color. Aromas of peaches, freshly baked bread, white flowers and tropical fruits. Very pleasant tropical fruit medley on the palate as well along with hints of apple, lemon, brioche and spiced nuts. Interesting salty/mineral note on the finish. Bright and acid driven. Creamy mouthfeel and smooth texture but (according to the winemaker) it does not come from oak aging. (Lees contact). Great value! — 7 months ago
Very nice CA aromas & OK palate & finish. Suspect that the RS is 1-2%. Easy drinking red wine. — 6 days ago

Casey liked more than Sierra. Needed time to aerate — 3 months ago
Very good but somehow not as great as I remembered. Maybe what we drank before tainted it. Maybe it went a little long in bottle. — 6 months ago
Had side by side with Austin Hope cab and could barely taste a difference. Amazing value! — a year ago

I love this stuff. Perfectly balances a creamy, comfort-wine vibe with real sophistication. Behind the creaminess, distinct blueberry, crushed red berry, pepper notes. I previously reviewed the 2020; I think this is slightly better. At mom's. — 2 days ago
