I was very impressed with this wine, for which I paid $15. rich wood and smoke taste with moderate tannins. drinking well now and should last several more years. very well done for this price point.

Drank at Tavern w/Megan...A bit auster at first pour after pop, but gained a bit of weight as the two hour drink cycle evolved...A good wine with no discernible memory other than medium bodied table wine

This is one of the most consistently good Cabernets, especially in this price range. Smooth, minimum tannins, especially if it is allowed to breath a few minutes.

Tasted blind with 10 west coast wines from 1985 to 2002. Ranked in 2nd tier by tasters. Complex, good fruit, no oxidation.

Maybe I had the best bottle of the vintage but for $18, this was great.

Good for the price, but definitely a little tart per other comments.

Tart cranberries, blueberries, menthol, herbal and flinty. I may have left it a little too long. Not going to get any better, drink up.

Earthy, musty, but in a good way. Enjoyed this one.

Nothing wrong. Not too much right either, though. Fruit was flat, little tannin. Drank Monday night -appropriately.

Good but not great, even at the price point. Some earthy nose with a plum palate and a moderately short finish.
