Community Tasting Note

• elevwine Likes this wine: 91 points

  August 31, 2020 - The $12.99 price tag clearly influences this review. Bought several decent Napa cabs (e.g. Mica) and saw this wine. A “reserve” at this price? Worth a flyer. What you pay for a small snort of anything Napa at your local eatery. Waited a week because I thought it might just be a bad joke by my wine shop. It’s not. Really decent wine, dark fruit, moderate complexity, mocha and cedar notes, some dustiness, medium finish. Frankly a very serious wine at a ridiculously low price. Balance a bit off but still quite good. If you can find this sub-$20, buy lots of it and make it your weeknight wine
