  Nicely balanced mountain cab. Blueberry and black cherry on the palate. Medium finish. Moderate tannins. Black fruit on the finish with little else. Solid wine but one dimensional.

  What a nice wine. Punches above the price, which was $35 a bottle. Part of that is the age — this is drinking well, smooth and not sweet. Nice ruby color, a bit of an indistinct bouquet to me and would agree with others that it is quite jammy. Boozy, too. But it isn’t too heavy on the acid. This tastes great for the price to me — comparing against a Paraduxx that was 50% more expensive. Good buy.

  This is a somewhat odd mix of a wine. There is a lot of talk about it being a more Bordeaux influenced bottle. But it's 15.5%(!!!!!!) right on the label. Even the big Napa Cabs don't always go up there. Interestingly it doesn't really show much heat. There is some nice leafy notes probably coming from it's hillier environs. Boldly fruit. Rich fruit flavors but not really a classic Bordeaux sort of mix. It does feel a bit heavy from all that alcohol. Again, not really out of balance. But certainly not a classic wine...unless the early aughts are your Napa classics. At $30 its a decent wine. Not in my wheel house but I know lots of people that would be happy with this. Watch your head.
