Excellent!! easy drinking with gentle tannin. Berry, cherry and strong cranberry, pleasant floral nose and lightly sweet. Gentle bitterness with a smooth finish. 98 pts Robert Parker $179.99 already exhibiting complex notes of forest floor, spring flowers, loamy soil and abundant black currant, black raspberry, licorice and charcoal notes, this full-bodied opulent 2012 shows no hard edges.

Deep and rich. Great color and depth. I like the weight. Lots of character. Fruit is mature and full. Alcohol in balance. This is a wonderful CA cab. Simple half bottle precursor. It hit it out of the park.

The nose is so big and delicious. A big Cabernet with dark fruit, smooth tannins and a wonderful taste. The finish lingers and reminds me why I so love this wine

Pleasant California Cabernet Sauvignon. Fruity and smooth without too much tannin. Lacks the complexity of some French Cabernet, but is a solid example of California, high-end Cabs.
