Wish I had bought more at the price. Lots of flavor here, yet nothing off-putting either. This time the gaminess of the Syrah, and jammy cherry and mint of the Bdx varietals showed through. Some heat on the finish. Full bodied with plenty of ripe fruit and complexing aromas. I prefer wines a little bit more cut and elegant, but there's a lot going on here that makes it enjoyable.

Funky -

Smelled like sticking your nose in pencil shavings.

Not much fruit left but tons of funky flavors. I enjoyed it but this one's not going to last much longer.

At first sniff I swore my dog just walked by after playing in the rain. The wet dog smell so strong I set the wine down for about 20 minutes before taking the first sip. This softened the wine a bit but still it remained a bit hard to swallow. Its pretty tart for a Cabernet. I cant even tell what Im tasting. I don't like it that much. Seems unbalanced, acidic, and difficult to get down. Wish I could be more specific. I did like it at some point though because I bought it. Will try again tomorrow.

Call me crazy and shut my mouth but this was a fabulous daily drinker. If I hadn't checked the label and tasted this blind I would have sworn it was a French Bordeux. Truly a classic, in style, Bordeaux blend and from all places...central coast. I will by more and recommend you at least try it. PBM nailed it along with viejo322 and cabfrancophile.

Nice notes of pineapple and tropical fruits. Due to the stainless steel this wine is crisp, clear, and fruit flavorful. Paired perfectly with a pork and pineapple dinner.

Not as good as we are used to, compared to the 2013. Overall well-balanced, but no strong notes prevail.

Very fruit forward, jammy with dark cherry and chocolate and very easy drinker. A bit high on alcohol at 14% and not at all dry with no hint of tannins. Still good even out 6 years, but need to drink it now.

Still a great classic table red! Holding on to a lot of fruit, but not much longer! Tasted much better right away, after decanting for 30 mins it turned too much. This wine is at the end of its drinking window, drink up!
