At $13 at Costco, this has by far the best QPR for Napa cab. But cost aside, the bottling itself is really good.
Plum, licorice, vanilla, touch of smoke, and hint of mint. The entry was soft, and quite delicate for a Napa cab, building up to a medium to full body.
Not for the long haul, but it does provide near term drinking pleasure.

Straight forward cab, nice fruit, mellow tannins. Ready to drink value.

Really one note in each dimension. Nothing bad, nothing wrong. A standard wine for its type. But also nothing to make you love it anymore. Aroma, at first, was pure cherry juice. This transitioned to some darker fruit notes and some blackberry with some earth notes and mushroom.
Flavor is more of the blackberry, especially after opening and some cedar.
Finish is non-existent, which is really an issue.

Fruit forward with pleasant tannins. A bit of spice (clove, nutmeg, eucalyptus) on the back palate. Not bad as a daily drinker with food.
