Bright fruit & good acidity. Light but quite nice with pork tenderloin for the price ($17). — 7 months ago
Perfect with Pat’s grilled New York strip steak ($27). Classic CS: acidic, aromatic with balanced fruit and smooth finish. — 4 years ago
Intriguing & unique Cab. Spicy red fruit in the nose & through the palate. This yields some smoky/spicy notes on the mid palate & through the finish. Plenty of tannic structure persisting here. Under appreciated producer outside of Washington. Very nice bottle of Cabernet. — 6 years ago

Fantastic at eight years old! Vibrant dark/red fruit… a touch of thyme and a pinch of rosemary. Michael Shaps built this and you can tell. Fantastic attack (cherry sweetness) and the mid palate is just a tango of balance (slightly stewed fruit and herbs)…
Medium finish but delightful in staying inside the boundaries for what this wine is meant to do — 17 hours ago
