  Much, much better than I thought it would be. Dark color, and a very attractive, fruity nose with a bit of an herbal note. Medium-bodied, not a lot of depth, but quite a bit of fruit, and a classic Cali Cab flavor profile. This has just the right amount of oak - definitely there, but not overpowering. Tannins are subdued, most prominent on the finish. The overall impression is that of a well-made wine that doesn't have a lot of power, but is very classy in its own way. Drink on its own or with light dishes. This is an impressive effort.

  I guess I should have known better ... this had too much residual sugar and was very fruit forward. While the wine had some characteristic cali cab tannin structure, it simply didn't have enough body to hold against the fruit. I had a glass and didn't finish the rest.

  Dark fruit, cherry nose, smooth with bit of spice. Good value, nice with dinner.

  Distinct cherry and dark fruit nose and taste. Balanced tannins and alcohol. Good value for price.

  Cherry and currant fruit nose and flavours. Straightforward and primary finish.
