She liked it but it defiantly stood out to her. For the price I think it is a good value. One of Mike's least expensive wines. Just pair it with the right food.

  8/24/18, 7:30 AM - Thanks for your thoughts. I love how Mike's 2015 cabs are drinking right now despite their youth, however, there's not much out there in the secondary market. I found some of the 2015 Pellet at a decent price but I keep second guessing it - it's usually not my favorite vineyard that Mike worth with due to the richness/sweetness but I thought the 2015 vintage was pretty good. Take care.
