Enjoyable, but simple cab. It has some deep color and a tanninc backbone- surely thanks to the 20% Syrah. There is also some nice dark fruit in wine, but it finishes soft and flabby. The wine kind of melts away from you rather than having the acidity to bring it home. As with our past note, this is perfectly drinkable wine but unfortunately doesn't live up to it's price point.

Pretty nice wine. Dark fruits, currant, cherry. Smooth flavor profile that is full and rich, although a tad one dimensional at this price. Not enough acidity to bring it into balance and so comes in flabby. At 20 or 25 it would be a sure bet, but at nearly 40 (club discount) it's not a buy for me. Too many better options. I'd like to try it side by side with the proprietors that tastes similar at lower price.

Tried beside Palmeri whose winemaker consults with Dutcher. Both a little young but good PVR.
