One of the best lower priced bottles of the day.. Great nose and crushed blueberry on the palate, slight touch of oak.. Great bottle.

All that beautiful Napa valley fruit shining through. Black currants, blackberries, black cherries and violets. Full body and tight this wine should shine in 4+ years.

Fantastic nose of blackberry cobbler, black cassis, and the smallest hint of eucalyptus to make things interesting. The acidity is a welcomed touch to the palate. The oak is integrated and accompanies the fresh fruit perfectly; and a smooth, vanilla note rounds off the wine's finish. Again...fantastic.

Nothing green in this wine. Big blackberry andblack currant character + hint of licorice. Nice weight. Sturdy yet approachable tannin. Echoing finish. From magnum.

Quintessential Cali cab. Nose: smells like a campfire!!! Toasty, nutmeg, vanilla, at the same time crushed black pepper and roasted garlic, reminiscent honey notes. Palate: rich, dense, beautifully floral, overripe plum, dried basil, definitely spicy but juicy at the same time. Enjoyed a pesto shrimp ricotta pizza.

Very nice, complex and well rounded. Good fruit (cherries or strawberries) and some woody tannins. A little spice and maybe some chocolate. Good legs. Maureen says "delicious, woody, dark". May have been a gift. This is a very enjoyable California Cabernet.
