Nose of black berry, cedar, plum and a hint of barnyard, same on the palate, medium body, good acid, and a medium amount of tannins on the lite/medium finish. At $20 this is a QPR deal but just barely, any Pinot Noir or Zinfandel for $20 would be the better tasting and smarter choice.

Black fruit, dense and dark core with earth, potting soil and other bass notes. Plenty of structure, chew and a good amount of acidity on the finish. Drank next to a similarly priced, similarly young CA Cabernet really showed off how deep, dense and closed off this wine is. Reading other reviews, I suspect there are some flawed bottles out there. Bought 4 and may get some more, will be really fun to see what this does in 5-10 years.
Deep ruby, plurple color; black fruit, some cedar forest on the nose; good fruit on the palate, notes of plum, blackberry, black raspberry opposing medium-strong acidity, a good blend. Some tannins, will continue to help this bottle mature over the next several years.

Drank a couple glasses slowly over a couple hours. It was pretty good for $20 by the end.
