  June 10, 2011 - This is a great everyday wine that is fruit forward with a velvety finish. A hint of herbaceousness gives it some additional character. Considering the price you gotta be pleased with this wine.

  June 6, 2011 - OPened and poured a glass immediately. Seemed slightly vegetal at first but went away after about 10-15 minutes. Very easy drinking , minimally complexity and not a huge fruit bouquet. Not a bad finish with just enough tannins to make it work . I do not drink alot of central coast wines ( california) so i am not sure what the benchmark is for Merlot / Cab bordeaux style wines.
