I am down to my last few bottles of this wine (sad to say), but I must say this is a very solid Cabernet for the money. I enjoy big, well made (and costly) Napa Cabs, but I can't enjoy them on a daily basis. This Neyers vintage provides nice bang for the buck. This 2008 vintage is beautiful (see previous notes). This Cab has much vigor and life, yet in no way declining.

After tasting several 2013 heavy hitters, this 2008 Conn Valley still nice value for the price point. If it were still available, l recommended it. Great value and drinking very well. Dark ripe fruit, black cherry, blackberries, tobacco, raisins, cassis, licorice, dark chocolate. Modestly intense and lush. sweet tannins cover the palate a dry finish.

I 've tried a few vintage of the Neyers Ranch - Conn Valley Cabs and this one is my favorite. This 2008 is a lovely, quality Napa Cabernet and a true value. I truly look forward to the 2012 an 2013 vintages.

A lovely wine. Deep crimson appearance, with cherries, red currants, walnut shell, chocolate, and fancy oak on the nose. The palate is nervy, structured, and juicy, showing fine grained tannin, impressive purity, and a soft pillow of fruit. Never lets up and flat out delicious.

Big, concentrated, dark berry fruit - Gorgeous! This one is is just a few notches down from playing with the heavy hitters as it apparently has remained under the radar. If you can find a bottle or 2, try it.I am thrilled to have enough to last a good long time. What an undervalued and under appreciated wine at a very reasonable price!

A strong 91 points! Rich, firm, solid extraction and concentration. I WILL buy more of this wine and strongly recommend it for those who enjoy a Big wine at a very reasonable price point.

Dense, lush, rich and juicy. Ripe berry flavors. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a firm finish. Big tannins but not overbearing. with a pleasing mid-palate. A surprisingly nice cab that I will buy again.

Fruity with hints of moss and other earth tones on bouquet. Raspberry, currant and oak flavor. Very dry but smooth finish. Nice pairing with a herb crusted salmon, spinach salad with walnuts and apples and a side of new potatoes - heavy enough to compliment the heavier foods while fruity enough to supplement the salad.

Drink it up. Still good, but I wouldn't wait much longer unless cellaring at a temperature on the very cool end.

Great wine, and it looks like I'm the only one who thinks according to Cellar Tracker. I have about six bottles left & I wish I had bought more!

Once again, thumbs up! I love the Cab, the best in its value at its price point for a Napa Cab.

One of my absolute favorites, a big, voluptuous, Cab with grip, a brick house!

Wonderful! A Cab that is a value, lavish and under appreciated.
