Gave this a 90 last December, but I was less impressed this time around. Checks all the cabernet boxes, and it's not unpleasant, but it's definitely not something to write home about. Mostly dark cherries on the nose and on the palate. Medium body and a decent finish. Soft tannins (too soft for me), and I suspect that it's time to drink up. Still, it's well made and, at the $23 I paid, it's a very good value.

Didn't know what to expect from this. Thought it might be an early drinker, and that turned out to be the case. Mostly black cherries on both the nose and on the palate. Not all that complex. Medium body, but still quite rich (but not in-your-face rich). Solid, not spectacular finish. Great balance - probably at its peak. Kind of a generic Cabernet, but a terrific value.

A really well developed but fruit restrained wine. Seems like it is very melancholy and quite held back. Perhaps it is past prime but it is also quite teasing and appears that it might still be there. Hmmmm ... just not sure ..... so just ok.
