April 23, 2022 - Acceptable for a casual glass of red but flat to me no nusnces whatsoever-jsut a simple plain red meh.
June 21, 2021 - Stylistically, this Cabernet follows the popular pathway. Plush and ripe cassis, vanilla oak and toasty coconut with tobacco and clove on the nose and the palate. Ready to drink the moment you pull the cork. A bit of breathing open up the lush mid-palate more with good extension in the finish. Goes well with grilled meats.
June 18, 2021 - Classic Napa Cab…but it’s from Sonoma! Better than much more expensive bottles from Napa.
February 20, 2021 - Rather nondescript cab.
September 6, 2020 - High rating for inexpensive bottle that I feel will age very well. Deep, dark red, full bodied wine that I didn’t let sit open for long. Tastes like many $80-$100 bottles of Napa cabs. Earthy and tobacco. Highly drinkable with or without food.
January 17, 2020 - Great QPR. Needs a decant but blossoms into a well balanced cab at a modest price. Nose of strawberry. Palate of Cedar cherry and hints of chocolate. Nice wine.
November 20, 2019 - 더운 베란다에서 여름을 지냈는데 다행히 무사함. 무난하게 맛있고... 그랑리제르바라 그런지 오크향이 부드럽고 여운이 좋다.
November 18, 2019 - Tasted at The Wine Society's USA tasting, London, UK. Dark ruby colour. On the nose there's deep blackcurrant, spice, cassis, coffee. The palate is lovely, rich, full, dark berry fruits, plenty of tannins. I feel this wine has many years of life remaining. Excellent.
June 3, 2019 - Hard to believe this is only the second time I’ve ever had this wine. It’s so widely available, I suppose, it’s easy to overlook. This is well built and somewhat Old World. Dry, youthful, and dense, with a soft, floral aspect that frames red fruit, cherries, cassis, and new oak atop plump textures and flavors. Solid effort and the tannic structure suggests aging potential.
April 22, 2019 - Popped and poured; a dark purple core with no signs of age. Aromas of cooked and stewed black fruits, asphalt, mocha, and spice. Medium to full bodied, muddled on the mid-palate, with little in the way of precision. elegance or depth. The 2013 was much better.
