Earth and wood notes on the nose. On occasion a whiff of pepper. Restrained fruit notes an dominated by dusty wood notes. Quite dry for a Napa cab sauv.

Nice nose, if straightforward. Cassis dominates, a little cedary note showing. The mouth is similar, with a little tannic note and some acidity (but not too much). Loses points for lacking complexity, but the balance is rather nice; there's not a ton of weight, but not a ton of acid either. Perfectly quaffable.
Should drink well through 2013.

Mediocre, especially for the price. No value.

A very nice drink for a $15 bottle. Light, delicate with a modest nose.
