Classic big fruit tasting room Napa cab. I actually really like this because it represents the big fruit and oak wines of the past 25ish years. Cedar, currant jam, berries, baking spice.

Happy Thanksgiving! Wife's pick of wine for the turkey and she loved it. I think it is good but not great or worth the $50 price.
