Tight at first but slowly opens to what could easily pass for a $40 or $50 (retail) bottle. More old school than a new school fruit bomb, this is structured and serious for such a low price. Impressive 2012 Napa cab!

Sweet fruit up front before descending into toasty oak, some Bordeaux style earth and some dramatic acidity for Cab. Great with food and beautiful balance.

Deep purple color followed a nose with tar, smoke, and dark fruit. Dark cherry, strawberry, and cedar on the palate. Extremely smooth and easy to drink. Nice finish as well. Give this some air as every glass got better over the course of 1+ hours. Solid QPR. Paired well with turkey, cranberry sauce, etc. :) Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
