    March 24, 2021 - Deep black cherry robe with tawny rim. Superb nose of ripe red fruit and sun dried tomatoes plus vanillary tones. palate is dense, rich and smooth with an abundance of black cherry. bilberry and strawberry flavours, soft tannins and sweetish, jammy finish. A really satisfying fruit laden wine with an almost perfect balance.

Otherwise light acid/tannin - some light berry notes. Not overly complex but as others have said, i guess decent value for money - will not disappoint.

    January 6, 2011 - This is a new label to me, but I was very impressed with the herbaceous and plum character of this classic California Cab. Smooth tannins, some spice in the aftertaste. Honest, straight-forward, and varietally correct. Drink 2011-14.

    December 12, 2010 - Agree with notes below. Nice effort especially for the money, ten bucks. Enough backbone to keep it interesting. Would be a great house wine to buy by the case...
