Great red. Needed to sit out for awhile and then it really opened up.

Really wanted to like this one. A napa valley cab on sale at cvs for 10 bucks. What could go wrong, right? Everything. This wine sucked. It's so over powered with toasted oak flavors and stenches it's nearly sickening. Total stinker. Sad. Also I bought it without out trying it first based on what I assumed was a tremendous deal. I bought 4 bottles. Now I have to choke 'em all down my gullet. Which I will because even if the wine is bad I enjoy the warming sensation and over inflated sense of self esteem being drunk brings me.

It's a steal for a Napa Cab in a steakhouse. Nice cherry on the nose. Soft tannins with nice finish. Like it!

A mouthful of new American oak. Chewy tannins to go along with it. Not as bad as I remember out of the most commercialized vineyard in Napa.

Nice and bold with a peppery touch. Heat is minimal once you let it breathe and gently decant.
