  PnP, crowd pleaser for USD$20. Not your typical "in your face" too-sweet Napa cab. Not super complex, but easy drinking, smooth with good tannin even without food.

  OK, nothing special but drinkable. Fruit present. A bit harsh on open. Softened in glass. Not complex. Not sure more time in the bottle will make a difference.

  Nice soft tannins, the oak was quite present on the palate.

  Love the 'This wine wants to be better than what it is' comment, sometimes 'it is what is it' and it is an excellent Cali Cab and fabulous QPR, how many $50+ Cabs have been had at this quality level? - Dark, full bodied with a nose of blackfruit, mint, plum, cedar, spice and vanilla, very well structured and balanced, complex, off dry on the palate with excellent length, this wine has been a winner for at least the past 5 vintages and this one is no exception (90 Points).

  Very deep color and noble nose. Dark fruit with nice blackberry and currant flavors. Flavor structure becomes overly simple and falls away in the finish with tannins a bit unruly. Nice wine that wants to be greater.
