Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Syrah and Zinfandel blend of steak accompaniment! Always a crowd pleaser. And the 2014 is a good vintage.

Solid cab based blend. Big and smooth. NCWC tasting. Re-tasting next day: soft tannins, fruit forward, nice structure. Really good. Rating stands.

One of my go tos.... See past reviews.
On open, you'd swear it was jammy with excess sugar. Let it sit for 45 min plus, and it all settles into a big fruit cab.....

Very rich, extracted and fruit forward. I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy it but not much in the way of finesse or structure.

Drank this wine at couples dinner with friends. It matched everything well, including the bacon appetizer, my duck, and my wife’s short ribs. Loved it. A little expensive though. Drinking well now. Not sure if it is a good one for aging.

Had a tasting flight of 2013 and 2014. Absolutely wonderful. 2013 was nearly oirt-like...2014 had more fruit

Sort of a fruit bomb for a cab. No surprise given host/provider. Maybe needs another 5 years?
