I love how Mike's 2015 cabs are drinking and I'm considering buying more of this wine but I also thought the richness/sweetness was borderline over the top with the last bottle that I had.

She liked it but it defiantly stood out to her. For the price I think it is a good value. One of Mike's least expensive wines. Just pair it with the right food.

I found some of the 2015 Pellet at a decent price but I keep second guessing it - it's usually not my favorite vineyard that Mike worth with due to the richness/sweetness but I thought the 2015 vintage was pretty good. Take care.
