I'm so happy that I got in on this wine (questionable vintage because of the smoke taint issues), It's a really good wine. I won't hold/ cellar these Cab's too long and that is pretty much the case with most of these big, fruit driven Cabs for any vintage, they have an optimum timeframe drinking window. I'm so happy to have enough to get me from now through 2024. No smoke taint, no problem.

Fantastic wine for a vintage that was panned by many. A big, rich, full-bodied entry level Cab. Dark blue and blackberry fruits, dark currants a touch of tobacco, so good for those who like this style. As my memory serves me, the 2021 may have an edge, but not by much. 94 Points.
