Polished shoes and raspberries on the nose. Blue fruit and wet rocks on the palate. Not tannic, but enough tartness to take on foods. Pleasant mouth feel with a short finish.

Pleasantly floral/blue fruit nose. Hints of raw meat on the palate. Little tannin, but enough tart fruit to avoid jamminess and to cut through moderate foods

Really loved this wine, esp for the pricepoint. Impressive, fragrant nose of sweet red cherries and chocolate cake, with a hint of cigar box, which continued to evolve over time. The palate was smooth and round, making for easy drinking - not as much depth and force as hi-end cab, but a step-up from mass-produced stuff.

Cabernet Time - Silver Oak & Friends (Wine Exchange. Orange, CA): Nice nose. Nearly no tannins. A bit jammy - syrup like. Weak concentration. Notes of red fruits.

Still a baby/just bottled, this wine seems to have structure and tannins that promise a tasty future.
