A friend brought this to a holiday party. So much fruit and oak! An overwhelming amount. Really, just way too much. Because of the overpowering fruit and oak, it was impossible to get a real feel for this wine. Honestly, reminded me of grape juice with oak chips thrown in.

Really tasted very light for a Cab at first, but improved greatly after it was open awhile. A nice wine with pasta.

Let it breathe to soften up. Layers of dark fruits and an soft dry finish.
