Smooth, not as fruity as Cabs from NorCal but makes up for it with an appealing earthiness. Lots of alcohol but not harsh at all.

More like a herbaceous Chianti with a hint more fruit. Herbaceous, but off. High tannins. But thin fruit. We'll pass next time at the $30ish price point.

Rating includes an extra ding for lack of value.

Too tangy for a cab.

Herbaceous, earthy, rusty rich. Abrasive but mature and refined- it's bite is on point. Happy two year wedding anniversary to us!

2011 Chairman Series is just overall a great wine. Deep with a great bite.

Wonderful California wine. Not too fruity. It has a great sense of place with the herbs.

We walked away with this Cab. It rivers our local Sonoma/Napa.
