Very similar to other bottles. Average. The nose seems pretty good, with blackberry and cassis featured prominently, however, nothing else in this wine is impressive. Relatively smooth, but there are some tannins that present themselves at the end which make this a bitter disappointment. I have low hopes for this improving with age. And for that, I am sorry, since I am sitting on 3 more bottles.

Nice fruit, good tannins (well balaced, just enough) and as others have stated short finsih. A longer finish and this wine would have made a 90. Very nice for the price, another good woot.

Tastes just like the 05 rhinefarm estate but much cheaper.

Tasted blind I would not guess this to be a cab, more like a blend. There is some earthiness and cherry, but pretty basic. ($13)
