Not as big as I had hoped for from T-Vine. I don't exactly buy their wine for balance. This tastes like a $20 Bordeaux. Nothing to get excited about but it won't offend you either.

Really nice juice. Popped and poured. Dense red color. Nose didn't start with much fruit, more mineral and wood. But the fruit hits on the palette. Bright red fruits. Longer than expected finish. Great example of Napa cab at this price point. Would buy again. Tannins still present and a bit of heat on the back end, so a little more cellar time couldn't hurt. And will let breathe at least 30 minutes next time.

Has really opened up - drinking great. Previous bottle thought was over the hill.

Just excellent. Nice red and black fruit, tannins appropriately subdued.

A deep, rich wine, with cassis and cedar and a hint of age. Very nice.

Drinking incredibly well. Great on the nose and a very substantial finish. Great fruit and acidic balance. Enjoy!

A lovely Cab! Great balance. Solid fruit. Would drink by itself, but was excellent with food (served with a savory lamb dish). Delicious!

Incredibly smooth, with muted fruits. Forgot to take more detailed notes, but it was very nice.

Wow. Drastic departure from prior two bottles. This was prunes, raisins and fermented syrup. Did not seem to be flawed. Massive bottle variance.

Consistent with prior notes. Was able to let breathe a little longer this time and some of the heat blew off. Solid, full-bodied cab.

Tasted at winery. Hot on the nose. Ripe and juicy, with notes of leather and cedar. Full tannins. Good finish.
