8.8

A solid CS from Livermore, I had past vintages and always enjoyed this robust wine very consistent quality. Deep dark color, liars of black current, a touch of plums, cedar wood, dark chocolate, medium to full body, firm tannins, long finish. This wine went supper well with blue cheese, it is also enjoyable on its own. If you can wait a couple of years, though it is accessible now. My score 88, drink to 2021 perhaps longer

Certainly better than the 2011. Lower alcohol for a CA red. Medium tannins. Not very complex kinda meh on the Livermore Cabs

Such as easy drinking Cab- hints of tannins & fruit! Good buy for the price- this wine goes a long long ways!!
