October 28, 2022 - Pure rich cabernet fruit and zero oak flavor. Delicious and splendidly aromatic. Why isn't more cabernet made this way?

March 3, 2022 - Monthly Tasting at Wine Wizards: Stightly herbaceous but a very, very nice Cabenet from the Oc. Dark and juicy, good varietal character and balance, not sweet or over oaked At $15 well worth having
