This really opens up after a 30 minute decant. No detailed notes taken (since I was watching the Super Bowl!), but I enjoyed the rich, balanced flavors. A real value too.

Tasted this wine in Napa Valley and could not locate the winery. had my wine merchant research the wine. Mostly sold through restaurants. I would give it man 88 pt. Very drinkable as a very day wine and will go with a verity of meats. Very smooth and enjoyable.

This wine has very pure cabernet character. It's straightforward, simple and has a natural taste. At first I thought it may be a bit overextracted and had too much bitter tannins, but it smoothed out after spending a couple of days opened in the fridge. Very nice table wine that will go well with a variety of meat based dishes.

Syrupy nose, showing sweet cherry and licorice. Warm, with a touch of tannin. Linear and drinkable, but a bit harsh. I remember finding the 2004 a bit more pleasant.

No formal notes. At or past it's peak. Lots of sediment. Good, but nothing special.

I'm a beginner, and still learning my way around the palate. This wine was very enjoyable with noticeable oak notes.

Decanted for1 hour. Nice, simple cabernet. Not much oak, if any, which I like. Very drinkable. Went well with homemade beef tacos. Will buy again.

Seemed to be a favorite when compared to a 95 Cru Bourgeois.

Not bad. OK nose. Easy to drink, but nothing much to it.

Bought this because I thought I had heard good things about it for the price. Bad aroma, okay taste, pass on buying any more.
