June 18, 2012 - Disappointed in the low reviews here! Drank over 4 days. Lovely on day 2, more reminiscent of Cabernet Franc from Touraine by day 4. Holds it's alcohol very well with some air. If drinking soon give a good decant and you will not be disappointed! Natural cork; fair amount of sediment; 14.9% abv.
I really enjoyed this which is rare for me at this point in my wine drinking career as I have been very jaded on new world, high alcohol, Cabernet Sauvignon based wines. Very well done! -

January 21, 2012 - Better than expected. Fruity, smooth, napa cab blend. Not typical, more bubblegum than cassis or plums. Fairly rich mouth feel with only modest tannins. Drinks well now.
