Nov 13th, 2018This perennial favorite is a bit disappointing after some stellar prior vintages. It is a bit too thick of body, a touch too unbalanced in its acidity, a smidgen overmuch residual sugar. This aside, it is still a bargain at its price point. Expect a jammy mix of ripe plum and bright red currant.

Oct 5th, 2017Another great vintage of this perennially great value, this release is medium bodied and a bit more astringent than previous efforts, but still quite good. The mocha cherry flavors are still there in full glory.

Apr 20th, 2017A great Napa Cab for the price point! What you'd expect, smooth flavors of blackberry and ripe cherry, plum and a slight chocolate finish with nice acidity and tannins. Not dry but the chocolate is subtle enough to pull away some of the brightness of the fruit in a pleasant way.

Nov 4th, 2019Good solid Cab at this price point. Dark berry like fruit, mild on the tannins.
