Decent looking guy at a bar. Wouldn't fight a girl to bring him home but wouldn't kick him out of bed, either.

Light to medium texture with a mild tannin finish. Rich fruit flavors, which comes along as a sweetness. This year, 2011, lacks the strong characteristics of earlier vintages. Overall this is a good wine to enjoy, but a little flatter than expected.

Good tannin structure ready to drink. Typical Bordeaux blend from Cali.

Merlot heavy, fruit forward, and food friendly.

Medium body. Soft, light tannin. Uberripe black cherry, plum and blackberry. Some sweet woody and kernel notes. Nice aroma but a little thin, especially for 2012. Finish kinda just falls apart. Wasnt knocked out by it, but wouldnt kick it out of bed.

Aromas were a bit off, but not unpleasant. Light, fruity flavors, off-dry sweetness lends this a smooth drinkable quality. Not what I would expect from a Cab Sauv dominant Napa blend.

Decent wine I wouldn’t rate it as high as these other reviews but not bad to the point where I wouldn’t purchase again

Interesting and complex but light in body.
