  Decent wine, but almost nothing "cabby" about this Cabernet. I suspect it was blended to the maximum legal limit with other varieties. Medium-bodied and juicy for a cab. Also a bit inky. It drinks like a Petite Sirah. If these grapes came from Napa, it's a crime that more varietal character wasn't coaxed out of this fruit. As a Petite Sirah, I'd rate it 91 or 92 pts. As a Napa cab, much lower due to the lack of body, tannin, earth/savory and peppery notes.

  This is a great story, Lee was offered a truck load of Napa grapes to play with. And the result os an excellent cab in the best Paso tradition with Napa juice. So yummy. It is not heavy, but erg, I can't quite describe it, but man do I love it. I know, not helpful. I will try to do better on the next tast.
