A complex wine; well made with aromas of earth, black raspberries and cassis. Will improve with time. Enjoyable if not superb.

2/20/2013 - Zo65 Does not like this wine: 80 points

Nothing but oak; unimpressive fruit. Very thin with almost absent mouthfeel.

Although I only paid $10 at Costco, for the price, there are better options.

Much improved; after 2 hours of air opened up with nice fruit and subtle oak. Nicely balanced wine. Now looking forward to the rest!

Excellent. With 2 hours of decanting produced aromas of cherries, some earth. Medium bodied. Don't really understand other poor reviews. Maybe bottle variation?

Surprisingly bad. The most disappointing wine I have bought from CH. Heavy, completely lacking in finesse. Really poor effort.

Wow. This wine is not very good. Completely out of balance. Tons of oak with not much else. Yet another disappointing wine from Ty Caton.

I don't get it. Very spicy, little balance. Very thin. I can get this from Chile for $7. Drinkable but not much more. I will give it another try in 6 mo.

Potentially one of the most poorly made Cabernets if have had the misfortune of tasting. Nothing but oak. Allowed to breathe for several hours but still awful. Rest went down the drain. Cannot recommend(no matter what Jonathan Newman says)
