Cherry, black currant on the nose. Smooth, medium bodied wine w/a nice mouth feel. On day two, this wine had really opened up, and tasted better than day 1. At 8 years of age, drink up I suppose, but this wine is an excellent price point & tasty everyday/weeknight quaffer. Has to be one of the best values aound.

Drank this one at an Argentinian restaurant, it complemented the meal wonderfully. My girlfriend would have rated this one even higher than 94. Notable hints of cherry, and subtle tannins. I can't remember where I picked up this wine, but I wish I had purchased more!

OK, but certainly not what made California famous.

OK, not great, oak starting to overpower the fruit. Decent value.
