On its own this wine is an 84, as per the notes from a bottle I drank earlier. Fine to drink with an appropriate meal, but not a standalone or standout bottle by any means. As sangria, however, this was fantastic. Many compliments were given. Let's call it a 94, but I won't give that as an official rating since it's not based on the wine alone.

Refined and processed to the point of completely lacking character -possibly to remove smoke taint from the 2020 fires. It exhibits overripe cassis & cherry, a dusting of mocha, and a somewhat flabby structure until a wisp of leather arrives on the otherwise ephemeral finish. It is ok in service to a large gathering, but is probably best utilized in sangria which is how I will be employing 4 bottles this weekend.

Great value for the money. Mushrooms and raspberries on the nose. Dark cherries, cocoa and very ripe raspberries on the palate. Very light tannins and acidity with a short/ medium finish.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like black pepper and raisin. It tastes like raspberry and chocolate. The body is light. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.
Overall, I like this wine. Has a pretty distinctive taste for a cab. Very smooth.
