Dark Cherries. It’s getting better with some hang time. I used the Vinturi on the first glass. I m enjoying this bottle more than the last one I had. This was dark and rich; a nice mouth feel. Very enjoyable since I wasn’t expecting very much.

Day 2 for this Cab Reserve. Opened last night to celebrate the Cubs game, and like the game it was disappointing. Flash forward to tonight and the edge is off the wine and the flavors are coming through. Paso has a tough time with Cab, but Margene does a decent job Alc 15%, so go easy. Thinking the fact the bottle is better indicates the Cubs will be better #iaintafraidofnogoat! Go CUBS!

Starts off smooth with big fruit. You get the range of flavors you'd expect from a CA cab and French oak. It lacked some acidity so as it opened up the range flattened out a bit. While it didn't maintain the complexity it started out with it was still very tasty. It was enjoyed w/ a perfectly grilled ribeye, asparagus & artichoke and it fit the menu nicely.

Not bad. Definitely wouldn't pay this much for it. But luckily it was a gift! ☺️
