A surprisingly good Lodi Cab Sav: Smooth, soft and easy on the palate. Sturdy presence and a great finish…good glass!

A bit bland honestly. Some good tanin bite on the finish.

I enjoyed this with a charcuterie board and an afternoon with an old friend. Smooth. Not too much. Not too little. Was a gift I enjoyed.

Wine with Manchego cheese and Chile infused honey is the business 🔥 Also this wine needs to age more

It’s dry, not too much flavor. Lacking the fruity mix. It’s ok, I probably won’t bother buying it again unless I’m hammered or I get hammered tonight and forget I’ve tried it already
