Heavy dark fruit in the glass Rim gets light very quickly Dark berries with an off fruit smell Grape juice with a burnt toast ending Jammy and flabby Might need BBQ or something to help the flavors do better 3/4 way through the palate it is bitter Too young to drink now

WS rated this a 90. I just don't see it. It's a decent cab but certainly not outstanding. You can find better west coast cabernet sauvignon's at or below this price point. Don't bother going out of your way to purchase this based on WS's rating.

Thin, candied fruit flavor. A little bitter on the finish. I didn't like this wine, and won't buy again. Even with some air, didn't get any better.

Blackcurrant leaf and jam. Minimal complexity. No noticeable secondary characteristics. Very limited finish.

Good fruit, medium to high tannin, sufficient acidity. Not much varietal character.
