  March 29, 2015 - Creamy vanilla, but with an acidic bite. Fruit and oak are well balanced, but that acidity is just too much for my taste. For a $20 bottle, I would expect it to be a bit better balanced across the board.
  
  The nose is also a bit odd. I don't get berries, fruit, or minerality. In contrast, I get "household cleaner". It's not a good nose. Almost pungent.
  
  I won't be purchasing this bottle again. For $20, there are many better cabs. If it were half the price, then I'd say it was drinking well.

  January 8, 2014 - A surprisingly good showing: Black cherry and blueberry notes are juicy, bright and balanced with a nice finish. A good food wine that paired well with roast.

  January 3, 2014 - chocalate with a hint of licorice. Medium length, but ultimate a simple wine. Nice weekday quaff.
