Something about this cab is just fine, not great. Has a warm, wormwood-like entry and then decent complexity. Herbal, not overly so, and dry but not overly so. After two hours decanted, more spice and tobacco notes rise to the top, and a delayed finish. I like that it's not overly fruit forward but it's almost as if there's something missing from the recipe.

Solid, enjoyable, not incredible.

Very standard economic Cali cab that is a decent value for the price point. Clean, most pronounced note is vanilla, acidic, unoffensive but unremarkable.
