Delicious full bodied cab. Bold without rough edges. Opens up nicely. Smooth and not overly tannic. Velvety but not chocolatey. Restrained for a California cab in a good way. Delicious standalone could be great with steak or lamb chops. A bit sweet as cabs go.

Great Cab from BevMo. Well balanced. Sweet notes, black fruits and good acidity. Perfect with filet mignon!
