Oh.. what a lovely surprise. I do love my napa cabs.. but am becoming a fan of many Sonoma wines for their balance, drinkability, AND affordability. Opened this thinking I'd get a relatively thin Sonoma cab.. more like a zin (which is ok, I love zin) .. on night one, initially got a bit of tartness and the thinness that I'd expected, but in less than 30 mins it had opened up into a VERY nice balanced cab. Enough acidity and red fruit to give it balance and food friendliness, but still with a nice lush body. Didn't really advance on night 2, but was still a great drinker.
Delicious!

from 375... lovely balance, nice med+ body with some acidity that comes through... continues to be a favorite go-to for a casual dinner
