Did not decant. Clear with nice purple/red color. Nose was cab typical. Wine is well balanced, on the light side with not too much oak or tannin. Easy drinking, mellow, nothing exceptional, nothing off. Soft and clean, would appeal in a cocktail setting. Tastes like it should and drinking well now. Good value.

Took a look at the drinking window, and thought I'd better pay attention to this one. Seriously good. Glad I gave it the extra time on the shelf. Opened about 30 minutes before tasting. Extremely smooth & supple, with really good mouth-feel. Rich notes of dark cherry and blackberry, with a long finish. Nice touch of oak. Enjoyable bottle.

Nice balance, very smooth with excellent finish. This wine was beyond the estimated drink window and had nice things to say.

Typical berries noted on the nose. A hint of PVC pipe as well. Lighter and softer tannins than what I look to cab for, but very drinkable

Very smooth. Some might say too smooth but hard too complain.
