August 21, 2011 - I thought this was a relatively simple wine that showed dark blueberry and blackberry tones with lots of oak showing through. The palate didn't have much balance or freshness either I believe most people would like this more than I. A decent value in the world of Napa Cabernet, just not my cup of tea.
November 16, 2010 - Very tasty with a nice, full nose. Loads of fruit but not a "fruit bomb". This was my third, and last, bottle and was more enjoyable than the earlier ones. Perhaps some aging was good for it.
September 5, 2010 - Yea, there's lots of fruit here. The nose is brimming with black currant, smoke and earth. Big and round in the mouth with rich tastes of black currant and blackberry, along with a peppery zing. The medium length finish continues with the black currant and the peppery zing is like an exclamation point at the end of the sentence.
June 4, 2010 - Excellent wine
May 30, 2010 - CS standard de Californie. Se boit très bien mais rien à tout casser. On dirait que le temps l'a aidé un peu.
March 9, 2010 - Excellent wine. Reminds me of a BV.
December 19, 2009 - I do love this wine.
November 23, 2009 - This one is still evolving nicely. Lots of fruit on the nose with black currant, blackberry and smoke. Now, it is round and supple in the mouth with a medium body. Tastes of black currant and blackberry with some oak, which follows through an average finish. This is a very nice Napa cab for this price point.
October 26, 2009 - A good value Napa Cab. Lots of currant and black fruits.
October 23, 2009 - Tasted at a wine tasting. Nose of black currant, smoke and oak. Tastes of black currant and black cherry on the palate. Black currant and oak on a decent finish. Not very complex, but very nice.
