This was a very underwhelming bottle. I decanted for about 2 hours before drinking. It would be good for a $12 pnp bottle. Had a second glass after four hours and it was even less impressive. The finish was almost non-existent.

Just a great long finish on the tongue. A classic Napa cab.

I thought this bottle was past prime. It was pretty good, but nothing to write home about.
If you have this in your cellar drink up.

What a great wine. Had it with a veal chop. Decanted for three hours and it just sings. Still slowly sipping 5 hours after decanting. Anyone wants to sell some, let me know. My mouth is watering .

What a nice bottle of wine. Luscious dark fruits and a long finish that makes the smallest sip linger on your tongue.
This wine is in its prime time. Can’t wait to open another bottle.

Decanted for 2 hours. Very lucious with ripe fruits and mild tannins.

I decanted for 2 1/2 hours, and it needed it. Still very tight after a 1 hour taste.
I’m not a big fan of much Cabernet Franc, but this works reasonably well to add some depth and finish. Probably try another bottle in another year.

I am a Napa cab lover that got intrigued by SOFAKINGBUENO’s note below about this wine being a Cab’s Lover Pinot. I also communicated with Schiffy another commenter below.
This wine is a wow for me. I usually found Pinots as thin and sweet. This sucker is a home run. Even at $100/bottle this is excellent. Give it a try.

First bottle was corked so tried a second. It was ok but clearly nearing the end. Color is fading but taste was decent. If you have any, drink up. Quite a bit of sentiment when you decant.

CBUHLMAN summed up my comments. This cab is the bomb!

I agree with Montesquieu's comments. This wine definitely needs food to compliment it. After decanting for about 3 hours, I found if fairly astringent with the fruits slow to reveal. I'll try it again in the next few months with food to see how it fairs.

10/6/2021 - Booger’s Wine Likes this wine:

I decanted for about 3 hours and the wine definitely opened up from my first bottle a few months ago that I scored lower.

I thought the tannins were still pretty tight despite a 3 hour decant. Try again next year.

Picked up a bottle to try based on Don Baxter's comments. This is a really luscious wine that lingers in the mouth. Headed out to pick up 10 more next week.

This is a great PnP. Great plum and red fruit. I would make this a house cab without hesitation.

I very nice mid level Brunello. Cherries and red fruits set the tone. Good balance but a little short on the finish.

7/11/2021 - Booger’s Wine Likes this wine:

I am not normally a fan of wines with more than a 1-2% Cabernet Franc, but this wine is pretty unctuous. Just a little too much fruit for my taste, but the flavor lingers for several minutes after tasting which makes it stand out. I have two more bottles to try over the next 2-3 years. Looking forward to opening the next one.

Pasta night at Boogers! First time trying this wine.
Right or wrong I read most of the tasting notes before my wife and I drank a glass with tomato sauce and pasta with a Caesar salad. The tasting notes were all over the board so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. My wife tasted without reading the tasting notes.
Her comments, “Wow”. I really enjoyed the wine after a 2 hour decant. Great with dinner. We sipped a glass after dinner. I think you really need to take small sips of this wine to capture all the tastes. I find it to be so much more than a Chianti. I think the touch Merlot and Syrah add a nice subtle depth to this wine. For $21, I think it is at a great QPR. But I’m a sucker for Italian wine.

6/24/2021 - Booger’s Wine Likes this wine:

Just an excellent Napa Cab with a nice balance between dark fruits, the tannins and acidity. Decanted for 3 hours before drinking. It got better as we sipped on it at dinner, so I would recommend a four hour decant. For $64 it was a bargain in my mind.

6/17/2021 - Booger’s Wine Likes this wine:

I didn't read my own tasting note and did not allow enough time to decant when we went to a BYOB restaurant. It was decent, but would have been much better if I followed my own advice. Duh!!!

I decent PNP. I have lowered my expectations for wines under $20 that have labels that indicate a huge Cabernet. Names like The Cabernetor, are all marketing and this one fits the bill. As the label predicts, a Jug Wine this in Naught. But not a huge step up. For $16 it serves it's purpose.

This wine needs at least 2 1/2-3 hour decant. Quick sip after 2 hours and was still bitter. Thought it was corked. By 3 hours really opened up.

I tasted this right after I opened it and it was tight and almost unpleasant. After 3 hour decant it opened up quite nicely. Tight tannins with a fair amount of acidity. Leather, dried fruit hit the palate first. A moderate finish it surprised me. I wouldn’t load up on it, but having a few bottles left makes me looking forward to giving it another opportunity in another year or two.
