Full bodied, well rounded tannins with good structure and balanced complexity. Notes of blackcurrant, cassis, vanilla and eucalyptus. Good find!

Deep garnet red. Nose is coated in cherries, a touch herbaceous and a little bit of cinnamon. Moderate tannins (5/10) and medium bodied. A little simple on the palate with green peppers and red berries. Quite a bit of acidity. Gravel in the medium finish. Drink now.

There is nothing to this wine. Lacks character in all aspects. Nose is subtle and a little raisiny. Covering glass then releasing barely helps. Color is dark and the top is watery and thin. Have to think and search for flavor. Palate is smooth with faint cherry. I'm surprised it says Napa on the label. Opened 11/13/15

Just a nice ~$15 cab I bought to enjoy after work. Not to pair with food or hold in high esteem. It has the green bell pepper and pickle notes I usually get on cheaper cab sauv but also a palate that is one note and forgettable. Like I said, just a nice cab you'll find for about fifteen bucks.

Good for 2011 but left me wanting more character.

2011 vintage. Shows good fruit for being 11'. Nose shows greeness.
