I can not rate it by itself my wife used it in a sangria with apple cider,calvados,pear liquor and simple sugar. The sangria gets a 98 so I give this wine a 94 for being part of the sangria.

I'm not sure what previous raters were drinking. I received this bottle as a gift, opened it and poured through Vinturi aerator directly into the glass. Both nose and palate enjoyed this bottle immensely, with lush dark fruit, complexity, nice finish. I would love to find a few more bottles of this vintage.

Difficulty with the cork, almost corked but was able to salvage. Kind of interesting, has a smell that is somewhat alcoholic. Taste is good, fairly typical low to mid-range California Cab.

It was okay. Taste was on the bitter side, with an almost chemical like flavor. I will likely not buy again.

Nice toasty and tobacco with a decidedly dry edge. Fruit is almost gone so drink up.
