Medium ruby colored with high viscosity (13.9% ABV) and very slight staining. The nose gives me aromas of dark red fruit- raspberry, black cherry, red plum, star anise, evergreen, toasty oak and baking spices. The palate is dry with medium acidity and medium tannins. A relatively full body is rich with ripe dark red fruits long with blackberry and a definitive charcoal note. I also get some baking spice and a herbal green note. The finish is short to medium in length. This is a nicely balanced wine that has acidity and tannins tipping each other whilst the fruit takes center stage. It gets 90 points from me and for $36- 4 stars. Since this is an NV wine I would drink within 5 years of purchase.

Was pleasantly surprised how good this bottle was. Bought it 4 years ago and didn’t expect it to age this well. It was smooth and had a nice dry finish. Not powerful but good flavor. Nice. Drink now if you have one.

Not bad and better than a lot of the soda pop coming out of CA these days. Dry, fruit forward nose, berries, long legs, tobacco and leather finish. All in all, nice work, well-balanced.

aroma of black plums, red and dark fruits. It also presents notes of spices and red pepper.

Wasn't as smooth as had hoped even after letting it breathe.

Spicy berry aroma. Forward dark berry flavors with a bit of chalk. Lingering taste slightly bitter.

Delicious. Mid purple color with slow legs. Cherry on the nose. Moderate fruit flavor. Some tobacco on the finish. Opened up after awhile.

Not what I would think of as a classic Cabernet. Drinkable
