This is a blend with notes of ripe red berries, mild on the nose and the palate. An easy drink, but classified as a good table wine. Absent are the traditional earthy notes and complexities of an Italian wine. 88.

Dark in color, dark fruits on the nose, you get a sense this will be a softer cab and that follows through on the palate. Fruit forward, mellow, moderate tannins, medium finish, very smooth. I enjoyed this cab very much and you will too if you like the slightly softer side of California cabs. 2014 is my first vintage with this label and I am definitely looking forward to further vintages.

This is a superb wine with blackberry jam and nice floral notes on the nose. The fruit follows through on the palate, but definitely not in a jammy way. Tannins are moderate with a medium finish. This is a solid wine that will age very well and will drink like a wine 3 times its price. It needs some decanting to enjoy right now and I would let it sit at least one year, but for the impatient, it will be very enjoyable right now with a longer decant.
