Light to medium ruby in color with a nose of cherries and cedar. A bit more on the red fruit side, with a touch of raspberry. Feels a bit thin for a Cabernet. Definitely more on the lighter to medium-bodied side. Finish is short lived. Came in last when compared to Stags Leap Artemis and Beringer Knights Valley. I would have expected a little more for the price.

This is a very enjoyable wine. I look at this as an approachable Napa Valley wine, ideal for drinkers who are looking for approachable Napa without the heaviness that many associate with Napa Valley. This wine has some very good oak flavors that you don’t have to search for, but are not overwhelming which puts many drinkers off. Overall the wine is medium a overall body with nice long oak characteristics. The finish does have a touch of a spice likely coming from the barreling and is welcomed

Tonight’s #PandemicPick (#PP)For the money @$25, this is a great wine. Full bodied, nice balance of fruit and secondary characteristics; not boring. Good mouthfeel. Overdelivers. CA Château started by a ....Hungarian Count. Father of CA wine industry no less. 🙌🏻

Quite elegant and approachable. Blueberry and dark chocolate aromas and flavors. Hints of cigar box and earth. Just enough of an oak accent. Ripe enough, Rich enough, and Lush enough, but not over the top. Nice balance and finish with excellent structure. Outstanding QPR! Very pleasant surprise. Good find Keith S.

Jammy and smooth plum and blackberry jam notes with a lingering finish and hint of smokiness

Medium tannin and finish. Notes of red fruit and slight oak, little pepper. All around great.

Medium to full body. Juicy and delicious currants, berries and cherries on the finish. Succulent. Shows reserve. $14 for half bottle at Last Bottle. Fantastic value, get more. 95 points by Jimmy Suckling.
