A $13 Napa cab that drinks like a $17 Napa cab. It tries to bring cassis, blackberry, and cedar, but is just too thin. The flavor profile is there but it feels like they over-cropped these grapes. That said, a perfectly fine Tuesday wine with dinner, and better than an overly fruity Central Coast cab

Espresso and cocoa are huge on the nose, then mellow a bit with some air. The coffee continues on the palate with earth, leather, caramel, and dark plum. Really unique and delicious - a lot going on with this wine

Typical New World...fruity and juicy with dark berry and tannin. Nothing spectacular, but enjoyable nonetheless
