Tannic, fruity and heavy cab; typical California flavors and lack of balance; needs decanting. Ok with steak but not much else.

Loved it a year ago but realizing upon this drinking that it's way way too chock full of tannins to enjoy it now. 50% new french oak isn't necessarily the best thing.

Lot of bright acidity and gripping tannins but this one is drinkable now. Lovely oak and darker fruit front and center. Give it a few years and we have a 'value' panty dropper
