Community Tasting Note

  • LegalWine wrote: 90 points

    June 17, 2013 - This is not drinking as well as its professional scores anymore, but still a good wine. Slightly translucent red color. Needed about 1 hour of decanting to calm down the alcohol on the attack. Once ready to drink, this was a one dimensional cab. I agree with what another member remarked - it drinks like a medium bodied $30 cab. Nice fruit, not too dense, followed by a medium length finish that wasn't too tannic. Went well with a steak. You can spend $70 on cabernet better than this in 2013.
