Wonderful value - $17-$19 napa cab with complex changes from bouquet to mouth to finish. Some vanilla and dark cherry notes with light oak. A versatile fave if you can get it <$17, it's a great value!

Deep ruby glass with pink translucent rim. Medium nose of cassis, tobacco, blackberry, black cherry, and hint of cedar. Light to medium body brings a pronounced tart acid of red cherry to the palate. This gives way rapidly to medium chalky tannins that lead to a long finish of dark chocolate, cassis, tobacco and black pepper. Seemed a little green at first and needed 45 minutes to open somewhat. Acid and tannins made for good steak companion. Balance shifted to the finish and decent structure suggest wine is fairly valued at $18.98. May improve in bottle after two to three more years.
