  Cherry, lots of pepper, wish it were a touch smoother and a bit more body. Still good.

  This deep crimson wine is a full-bodied blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Saturated with black fruit and spicy oak, it adds notes of licorice, dried herbs, graphite and bittersweet chocolate. Freshly acidic and with nicely woven alcohol (listed as 14.7%), it wraps its flavors with medium-weight tannins that carry a bit of grip. Solid in the middle and medium in length on the back end, this is an enjoyable, well-priced Napa Cab that will benefit from a year or two in the cellar. Drink 2021-2030.

  Wow, this couldn’t be any more different than the last bottle. It wasn’t corked, but it was absolutely terrible. Aroma was OK, fairly big and deep, but a boatload of heat. The taste was atrocious, gooey, harsh, flat, one dimensional with no depth or texture.
  
  Thankfully the meal I paired this with was just as bad as the wine. I would’ve hated to waste even a mediocre meal on this wine. I’m moving to whisky now to cleanse my palate... an exceptional 16 Year Old called Lagavulin. The best whisky on Earth with an Excellent QPR!

  Very nice, easy drinking Cabernet from Napa. Drank it in a social environment, so no detailed notes. For the price paid at Costco, this is very nice and went very well with the cheeseburger I had with it. Get more, without hesitation.
