Nose: Fairly dense aromas of blackberry with cassis and dust. Palate: Nice, full front palate yields quickly (it is an '03' cab after all), but delivers pleasant flavors of blackberry, and cassis on the finish. Nice wine for an '03' and under $20 (stole it for $13 on sale ~ great QPR). Field Stone has always been a bit of a sleeper probably because it is low priced and under the radar.

Not spectacular, but not unpleasant either. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy this again, but it is something I might try again if I see it in a bar or restaurant. One of those cabs that does not need food. There really are not that many great California cabs in this price range, and around $20 I will always choose a Zin or Shiraz, so I don't have much to compare it to.

Very strongly alcohol-smelling, and alcohol-tasting. Basically all I could taste was the alcohol. It suppressed all other nuances of smell and taste.
