Nice Cab to go with my weekly steak covered in garlic powder!

Pretty solid... Needs to open a bit, due to slight fruit-forward profile, but desirably bold, earthy, with some spice and smokiness. Worth buying again at $25 (Vendome)

Lovely color, bright red fruit aromas, utterly dies on the palate. Short length with a vaguely bitter/medicinal note.

I like this Cab. Full bodied- gets even better as it breathes

Nice cab. Nothing extraordinary. Moderate tannins and fruit. Better ones out there for same or better price

Nice cab. Doesn’t stay long on the palette but has a nice aroma, color and tastes good. Blackberry and a hint of tobacco.

Deep, dark red. Red berries, slight tobacco & chocolate notes. Dry, dies fairly quick, but still a very enjoyable wine - solo or with even fairly dominant food.
