Medium body, but very well balanced. More European in style than American. Reminds me of a Bordeaux (St. Julien or Médoc). Finishes with zippy tannins.

It is well-balanced and restrained. The scent is ripe dark fruit, kirsch, menthol and spice. The palate has black cherry, earth and mocha flavors with ample dusty tannins.

This is a very good food wine, elegant and interesting with plenty of acidity.

Smooth, elegant and refined - almost feminine for a Cali Cab - but with a pleasing flavor profile.

Smooth and balanced fruit, spice, oak and tannins. Everything in synch.

Agree with previous notes, and for $10 a VERY good value.

Plenty of ripe fruit. Expressive with healthy soft tannins.

Ruby red color. Black cherry, spice and cedar scent. Currant, tea and a touch of anise flavor with ample tannins and a medium long finish. Elegant.
