Community Tasting Note

    August 31, 2019 - I differ (at my ignorant peril) with the other reviews. To me this is a light, delicious, fruity wine, with no depth, complexity, or long distance potential. I surmise that this is the future of climate change wine at their best, delicious but uninteresting. But I like it a lot. Yes I woud prefer an interesting wine, but at this price point ($50) I don't expect that today, and am quite happy with delicious.

    To be specific, this is clearly more enjoyable than the Ridge estate cab that I bought for $17 more at a higher priced store last week.

    edit: In August 2020, I am again grateful this is available locally, as it is still delicious, and still fruity and uncomplicated. Hard still to imagine any significant depth developing, but well recommended as highly drinkable now.
