September 12, 2014 - I expected more from this 2008 Cab, as I drank the 2009 vintage two days ago and I prefer the 2009. Still, for the $9 I paid for the 2008 Cab, it was a good value. Both need to be opened an hour before drinking, as my initial taste had a note of acidity on the finish.
November 3, 2013 - Nice value Cabernet, not typical with it's raisin like black current taste.
July 14, 2013 - A huge nose of black currant. The palate follows this, adding a slight green note to it. The acidity is medium, but the tannins are fine and silky. Medium finish. A simple but enjoyable wine.
December 28, 2012 - Red fruit nose, bit of cherries. Dry with a little tannin. Jammy and tart. Mouthfeel is a little thin, but still appealing. Looking forward to having this with a steak for dinner. Will update after it's been open for a while.
Initially rated this an 87, but it never really improved so I am rating it an 85. Drinkable and nice, but I have no idea what the price was so I can't even bump it up based on QPR.
August 22, 2012 - Nice fruit, some tannins left. Could go another year or 2.
Enjoyable
February 20, 2012 - Enjoyed, drinkable, good nose. Good as a dinner wine.
February 13, 2012 - Nothing special, not bad but not worth a purchase again. Kind of boring, not too cabby.
February 13, 2012 - Not really great to me. Dark crimson color. Lots of red fruit on the palate, lacking decent acidity. It just kind of went down. Lacked the vanilla and caramel/brown sugar notes that I enjoy in many Napa Cabs.
January 28, 2012 - Smooth cab, good qpe
January 12, 2012 - Very good
