Second and last bottle of this wine. this one is more "green" than I last recall -- insufficiently ripened fruit? But overall at the price point, I can't complain.

This drinks like a very nice Bordeaux wine. Dark currant, cassis, a little cedar note. If I was tasting blind, I might guess wrong. But there is a fair bit of sweet California fruit... This drinks beautifully now but should last a few more years without any problem. Pretty amazing for a $20 dollar bottle...

Decanted for 1 hour. Dark purple in color. Blackberry on the nose. Fruit forward. Cherry and blueberry on the palate. Very nice structure and balance. Smooth tannins. Nice long finish, dry with a hint of spice. Very flavorful cab. I really enjoyed it. Saving the last bottle for the end of 2016.

Consistent with my last notes. Last bottle of the 2010. Onto the 2013 and going to buy a case of 2014.
