  Not normally a napa cab drinker and OK this isn't complex in anyway but I really like this wine. Wanted something a bit fuller than a claret and had some good steak and this really ticked all the boxes. Fat, full and simple but really enjoyable........wouldn't drink it all the time but was a good alternative for me

  Initial nose was a bit rough and tumble, but it smoothed as it breathed. Flavors of cherry, vanilla and oak lead the way and it finishes very softly. Nice wine drinking fairly well right now.

  Nothing special here. Just a entry level cabernet. Very sweet and fruit forward.
