Community Tasting Note

SonzTwin Does not like this wine:

Tuesday, June 28, 2016 - Ordered this at a Disney restaurant, mistaking it for a Silver OAKS (Wow - I'm sure it's "just" the Alexander Valley one, even though it says "Napa", but still, what great value!) It was $88. Even when they brought the wine, it took a few minutes for me to realize what I'd done, but it's too late to turn back at that point :-) Very pleasant nose, with moderate fruity complexity, but as with most N.A. "cabs", not very tannic at all. 2011 was the last of the 3 'down' years for Californian wines, and the low alcohol gives a hint as to how much they had to struggle with it (13.6%). It opened up a little more after some air. I waffled between 89 and 90. Nice little wine, not worth $40 retail - so while I liked it, I didn't like it at that price point.
