Not very acidic, a bit flat, not overly interesting.

Elegant and not palet blowing, which is refreshing for a California cab. Velvety cherries. Just a little one dimensional and uninteresting

Has a rich violet/ruby color. The nose shows acidic cranberry, black cherry, some spiced oak and strawberry. The body is kind of simple, quintessential perhaps. Shows the nose well and has a strawberry and American oak finish that makes your mouth water. Just too predictable and not big enough for my tastes.
