June 19, 2013 - Perhaps just past it's peak, but still a decent Napa Cab. Good fruit still on the nose and palate, medium finish. Decent QPR
September 24, 2010 - Opened both 06 at same time and decanted
January 28, 2010 - Needs at least a few hours or even a day to open up. Food wine, consume with red meat.
November 3, 2009 - Nice, inexpensive Napa Cab. Medium tannins. Balanced fruit (black berry) flavors. Pleasant drinking.
September 13, 2009 - Hmm... this seemed a little tight, and never fully gave up the acid-forward tartness. As a Napa cab, the weak tannins in it made me wonder about its cellarability as well. Not really sure I'd buy this one again. I've had it bopping around the cellar for about a year now, and finally got around to drinking it. Low commitment, average quality. I prefer a better wine for everyday drinking.
August 23, 2009 - Disappointing.
August 6, 2009 - Very serviceable cab, especially for the price. Not particularly deep color, nothing much really happening on the nose, but in the mouth there is decent fruit, soft, integrated tannins, and a reasonable finish. I don't think this is going to become anything more as time goes on, so drink up.
June 28, 2009 - Enjoyed with Porterhouse Steaks topped with melted Bleu Cheese crumbles on our 23rd Anniversary.
February 18, 2009 - ok but a bit off , would not buy again
October 13, 2008 - tasted blind. no notes taken but somehow a score was rendered (!). I think i must have liked it. I guessed it to be a syrah. the more I write, the less credibility I have, but who cares,, anyway...
