Fruit forward on the nose like most 09 Cabs. Solid, if unspectacular mouthfeel with notes of dark and red fruit, oranges and chocolate. A good, quaffable wine with some nice balance.

Some dark fruit coming from a restrained nose up front. Comes across more like Merlot. A bit flabby in the mouth. Drinkable and without issues, but not impressive. It's not an expensive wine, so there's value here, but better options in the $10-12 range exist.

Still young. A special nose full of dark berries and heavy on the cabernet. Tannic in the mouth with notes of plums and chocolate giving way to a medium to long finish. Superior, with its best years still ahead.
