  The adulation expressed in other reviews is a bit over stated. Good solid value at $25, not particularly deep or complex. Drinks very well right now with very soft tannins, so don't wait any longer to pull the bottles from the cellar.

  EYE: dark ruby w/purple tinge->red->brickish->watery rim, M+ conc, daybright
  NOSE: H intensity, ripe dark plum followed by black cherry w/heavy jammy, stewed notes, nice vanillin
  PALATE: sweet dark plum attack followed by cocoa & black cherry mid palate, M- acid, M+ tannin, M++ alc (14.7% act) with vanilla and jammy fruit, dusty tannic M++ finish
  OVERALL: Powerful, voluptuous with a lingering drying finish. Drinking smooth now w/low acid, tannins still hanging around after 6+ in bottle - curious if these young-tasting tannins will ever lay down? Still really liked the power and expressiveness of the wine.

  Drank with informal Christmas dinner. After a long, stressful day, it was nice to unwind with something we know and love.

  Inky purple in color, the nose is full of dark fruits. Long fruity finish bracketed by an almost chalky characteristic from the dusty tannins - very enjoyable. At a $25 price point, this drinks like Napa cabs at or more than twice the price.

  Decanted. Purple/ruby in color. The nose is dusty with cassis and plums. This is nicely ripe with some complexity. Certainly seems at peak right now with some of the youthful fruit taking a back seat to the dusty, earthy notes. Nice cab especially for the money.
