Blackberries and ripe cherry with a hint of vanilla and baking spices. Soft tannins with a lingering finish

I like the subtle fruit and smooth flavor. Did not feel this wine was great by any measure but good with casual dinner.

Pleasant surprise at a low price point. Thick bodied with berry tones. Went well with my basic lasagna meal.

A good example of the North Coast terroir but vinted in the Napa style, this wine has black cherry and slight acidic coffee tones. The finish is bright and tingly.

Bold cab, easy to drink, fruit forward nose, nothing special. Would buy again if it's cheap

Clean and well intentioned, but thin.

A little green and a little harsh with the tannins on the palate. Nice label though.

Decent Napa cab, but nothing outstanding. Too fruity/new for my taste.

Superior to the 2011 vintage, this CS has vanilla oak and medium thick body, with smooth black cherries and blackberries leading into a spicy acidic finish. Good cocktail wine.
