February 7, 2018 - Dark garnet color, mediu, tannins. Drank wonderfully. Dark fruit with a h8 t of coffee on the end. Much softer the next day, and not as much depth but still very good.
July 15, 2016 - Aged wonderfully and full of dark cherry and medium tannins. Perfect acidity in this balanced beauty.
May 30, 2014 - Very nice once again. Tannins mellowed and several people thought it was a Merlot. Consistently yummy wine. Sad to see the 2006's go but have the 07's and 08's in the cellar.
March 15, 2014 - A little on the sweet and fruity side (I'd guess the slight over-ripeness is due in part to the the 14% Merlot), but a great value for an aged medium-to-full bodied Napa Cabernet bottling at 60% discount. Cork states it was barrel-aged for two years. Started showing more licorice flavors after 30+ minutes. The 15.2% alcohol was seamless. Still a little too fruit-forward. 88-89
March 12, 2014 - Wow. Very impressed. Defines QPR. Fruit forward without being overwhelming. Moderate-fine tannins. Will absolutely buy more.
February 22, 2014 - Nicely aged Napa Cab. Great QPR from Wine.Woot @ $21.
February 4, 2014 - great cab! red, a little inky and perfectly tannic with a balanced, dry finish. Would reccomend.
February 4, 2014 - Outstanding wine. PnP and this bottle was delivering layers of flavor. Red fruit, cassis, pencil lead, subtle oak. Soft, well integrated tannins and nice acidity to drink with or without food.
January 30, 2014 - On quick PnP: not integrated - big fruit and alc on the nose and palate but very muted finish. After an hour to open up the alc calmed down and the fruit came forward along with pencil lead leading the way, complex and layered. Tannins present but well integrated. Slight bricking starting on the rim. Medium bodied for a cab with this much complexity. This is in its prime drinking window now but I could see some evolution left over the next couple of years.
August 19, 2012 - A fan of the Nenow Cab for many years. Always outstanding. Terrific fruit and balance. Mouth-coating and silky with a nice finish.
