Markdown because this in no way resembled a $80 wine although it was good. Nose was the best thing, soars out of the glass with fresh crushed berry, sous bois and cut oak. Flavors are lean and a bit unripe with olive, green pepper and oak flavors around slightly unripe (sour) boysenberry fruit. Ash and oak to finish.

Quite a tasty wine. Medium body but dark and savory in the nose and palate. Dark cherry and chocolate notes dominate. Not as sweet as many cal cabs. Came across as a "serious" wine. Probably best to drink now or soon.

Not great, I have had other vintages of Roy Cabernet as well as the Red Blend and they have always been phenomenal. This one is not even close.

Certainly overpriced, blue fruits with smoke and ash but pretty underwhelming with heat and meh tannic impact. Drink now.

Nice medium-bodied wine that has aged well. Bordeaux-style, dark ruby hue, grassy nose, mocha, ripe cherry, soft, with a long finish. Nice effort!
