  Gave it a 2 hour decant. That really helped even out the tannins, but then the wine was fairly one-note. Somewhere between strawberry and cherry. Not complex. Shared it with friends and they thought it was pretty good. Definitely good QPR.

  Ne déçoit pas. 2eme fois je le bois. Tiens la route avec les cigares. Excellent nez. On est entre les classiques de Napa et Une touche Bordeaux.
  
  27$ pour un vin de semaine qui peut sans gêne être servi un samedi. Dépasse le surfait caymus et decoy...

  I don't understand some of the other reviews for this good (not great) wine.
  
  Tastes like a very respectable $12 cab/merlot from California. Complex oak-influenced nose with delicious blue and black fruit. Weak but existent midpalate transitions to a long tasty finish that matches the other flavors. Medium plus acidity, medium (medium plus?) tannins (from boyh oak and grape skins) that are better than most other cabs in this $ range. A really tasty wine!
  
  It's damn good when u break it down. But, it lacks concentration (as do most $<13 California cabs) which can't be ignored by wine snobs like me. If concentrated, it'd be a 92 or more.

  A decent cab, very inoffensive but doesn’t do anything I love. Just kind of a boring semi-dark red not too heavy on the tannin and an above medium acidity.
  Cherry plum oaky
