July 27, 2016 - Poped and poured, a little harsh at first, Needed about 30 min to come around then kept getting better and better over the course of a few hours. At $22 an excellent cab that delivers more than you could expect for that price. Dusty tannis, long finish, could cellar for at least 5 more years. Would buy again, very nice.

December 15, 2014 - Decanted and let air for 45 minutes. Served with herb crusted filet. This was a very good bottle; complex, smooth, almost decadent. Nose of black fruit, smooth on the palate with a long smooth finish. May want to pour through filter it had some sediment

February 3, 2013 - It's hard to know what happened with this wine. As others have said, it has a notable sweetness. It also seems to have virtually no acidity. That said, it is not all bad. There are loads of chocolate notes, and some complexities. This almost came off as a blend of Zinfandel and port, rather than a napa cab. If you are looking for an aperitif or an after dinner sipper that is not quite a dessert wine, this could be enjoyable. However, if you are looking for a classic california cabernet, I think that many people will be disappointed.
The wine was also very flat on day 3 (did not try day 2), and fell apart by day 4. I don't see this holding up to long term aging -
