I wanted to like this - probably because of the positive reviews and low price. But it was kinda blah. Nothing really jumped out to give it character. Better options out there...

1 person found it helpfulMay 21st, 2016We drank a bottle of this, same vintage, I’m 2015. It’s done very well over the last 5 years. Very smooth, dark cherry finish, and low acidity. Delightful. I think I’ll have another.

Dec 15th, 2020Didn't hold as well as we hoped. A good younger cab, perhaps.

Nov 15th, 2020Dark ruby hue with high saturation. Aromas and flavors of bell pepper, cherry, chocolate, mushroom, oak, and vanilla. Medium body, medium-high tannins, and medium acidity. Bold and balanced on the palate, with an oaky, lingering finish. Structured, complex, and well-made.

Nov 30th, 2019Not bad but definitely not great. Doesn't have much structure or flavor. I'm surprised it got such great reviews.

Apr 27th, 2018Garbage, do not buy. No structure. Tastes like jug wine. Braise some short ribs with a bottle of this, that would be an acceptable use of it.
