Unlike some previous reviewers, I think there is no major rush to drink this. not a hint of browning, no 'tired' notes, and even though the fruit has subsided and the tannins have softened, I think it will hold up for a while. Quite a pleasant reasonably price CA cabernet, actually.

A lighter bodied Cab, but very expressive and pleasant to drink or have with food.

Serviceable, but otherwise unremarkable Cab Sauv. Might consider it chilled, although I haven't tried that.
