Sampled 5/18/12. Just like you'd expect from LA, the Cab has a beautiful color and packaging and overpriced for what it is, and when it comes to substance, there is plenty of smoothness and polish to keep it perfectly enjoyable and pleasant, it even tastes a bit engineered (plastic surgery?), but it ultimately lacks real character, depth and sophistication to be with the real stars.

Very happy to have tried this. K didn't like as much as I. Not a blockbuster, but very nice Bordeaux blend. Especially nice, given that we stayed at the Hotel Bel-Air two weekends ago and likely were able to view the vineyard. Nice, but am not sure I would get again. A fun novelty and tasty.

Luscious and grand with flavors that last and last. Giant fruit and smoke. In Sideways speak, this was the bottle that turned me years ago and I understand why. Must get more.
