GA_SEATTLE nailed this last year, tho I'm not going to be as generous. Overly everything without the acidity to bring/hold it all together. A non-serious, jammy crowd-pleaser in the same order as Caymus Cabernet.

A nose of dark fruits and spices, dark garnet on color. A medium to full bodied Cab, with black cherry, blackberry, licorice and spice on long finish, a good value. www.winelx.com

Very bold dark fruit, heady nose of vanilla, baking spices, cocoa. Big fruit on the palate, finishing on the sweeter side - creme caramel notes. A touch overripe and somewhat out of balance with fruit overpowering acidity in my opinion. Vacuum sealed and stored at cellar temp overnight - notable fading observed on night two, fruit has dropped with no additional elements emerging.
Not my preferred style, but this wine would likely be a crowd pleaser if served for an event. Will be fine to drink over the next 3-4 years but I wouldn't hold much longer than that.

Great cab! Opened and let breathe for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Excellent wine and paired well with a smoked prime rib roast.
