| Tasted by cobbpa on 2/15/2010 & rated 85 points: Better after 30+ minutes of air. Nose of dark berry fruits & a little dark cherry. Tastes of those dark berries and delivers a very smooth mouthfeel. Finishes with a hint of sweet oak, dark blue/black berries, slight but present structure, and almost medium length. Great body, lots of wine for the price. 85-86 (1205 views) | |

| Tasted by Quarked on 2/12/2010 & rated 88 points: My score is slightly upgraded because I only spent $5 for this wine at Sam's Club. But it was a real surprise. Clean fruits, smooth drinking. A nice and simple everyday wine. (1228 views) | |

| Tasted by lacroix on 11/6/2009 & rated 86 points: Much more balance after resting for a couple months. The oak was not nearly as heavy and while this might not be the most complex wine, it is very good for the price. (1944 views) | |
| Tasted by Louisiana George on 10/18/2009 & rated 87 points: good house wine, enjoyed the california cab franc flavors which always exhibit more more fruit than traditional french cab franc. medium body and finish. (2137 views) | |
| Tasted by JimKay on 10/15/2009 & rated 88 points: Decanted. Nice dark color, nose is muted red cherry. Smooth palate, minimal tannin, but good acidity (quite good for a wine that is priced at the juice-box-wine level) with more red fruit on the palate. This is largely Cab franc and so I'd compare it to a Loire red: fruit and acidity without the vegetal aspect of most years. Definitely outperforms it's modest price. A Sam's Club exclusive, but remember - you don't need a membership to buy wine at Sam's. (2159 views) | |
