Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

This wine fell short for my taste. A little thin on the palate. I'm all for restrained expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, but the fruit, the oak and the overall impression were a bit faint. Soft mouthfeel, dark red fruits and a lean, finish. A very nice table wine to have around.

May be the winner of the best wine with the worst label. BUT, what's inside is worth at least several hundreds of words. Unusually soft and approachable for the vintage, the Stack House brings a velvety, smoked cherry to the palate. The tannins are silky, and draw the experience to a surprisingly luscious and lasting close. The label is garbage, but the wine inside it just sings on another level.

Served slightly chilled and had loads of fruit, dry with a clean finish. Nice bottle for the price $35.

Smooth wine without decanting. Definitely buy again. May have underrated it.
