Shetland / Wilshire Wine Tasting: Tasted Blind at Shetland/Wilshire wine tasting. Decanted for about 2 hours. Dark fruit, Seemed a bit lighter than I remembered. Sweet tannins on the shortish finish, Pretty good effort but nothing spectacular. In hindsight may have suffered coming after the 2001 Mondavi Reserve. Good QPR for a mid week drinker. Will actually buy more.

Pop n pour at a Memorial Day weekend BBQ...Black fruit and cassis on the palate, with slightly sweet tannins. Fruit Forward, Lush and round. An excellent albeit simple sipping wine...and an easy drinker. Superb QPR that out drinks its sub $10 price point by a good margin. will be going back for a bunch more...

Pleasant, but a bit sweet and relatively lacking in the woody characteristic flavor of better cabs. Improved with some air, so I would recommend decanting for at least half an hour. A decent to good value for $10.
