One-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel. Some cherries and wild flowers during decant. No sediment. Wine was clear; ruby from bowl to rim with a small clear halo. After resting, this wine opened up nicely: cherries, flowers, fines herbs and cigar box. In the mouth: wonderful balance, nice fruit, some toast, with a slightly warm finish. It was a big crowd pleaser at the table.

I can't believe how good this wine is given the price. I love the half bottle format to use when I don't have guests. Notes of dark cherries, violets, lavender, tobacco, and cedar. Love that, despite leaving some prominent notes, the oak is so well integrated. The full bodied palate is such a delight with its medium+ acidity. The finish is long. Quite a steal at this price. Repeat purchase? Run to the store and get more

Matured, balanced cab with red fruits and moderate earthiness; mild tannins and acid, short finish, but very good overall. fantastic value @ $20
