Not the strongest vintage for this wine. A bit disjointed and flat finish. More bottle age will not improve this vintage. Other vintages are more structured with layered depth and finish, making it a great everyday drinking cab.

This DANA 3rd lable is a tremendous value. Full bodied with expressive fruit and nice structure, although a bit jammy for my tastes. A nice choice for a every day weekday indulgence.

I tried one of these a couple years ago and wrote that maybe some bottle age would help this wine to express itself. It is pleasant and is about as good as it will get. It is lacking depth and finish. Drink them now as I think they are at their peak.

Great nose but does not deliver on the palette. Some more bottle age should help (but not sure).

Unremarkable only black cab sauv. Ripe cherries on the nose and super high acidity. Strong tannins and low residual sugar makes this a little painful. Lacks structure to develop over the long term

Some of the previous ratings on this wine were concerning but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Great value and drinking beautifully. Have never been disappointed in anything from Dana!
