A nose of dark fruit and some spice, garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, cassis, on spiced finish, a good value, drink now. www.winelx.com

Not happy. Upon opening the color looks a little off.Taste like it peaked last year or even before that. Disappointing for Yountville wine. Will review again after letting it open.

A nose of black cherry and some spices, dark garnet in color. A medium bodied red, with black cherry, raspberry, vanilla and spice on finish, a bit underwhelming, expected more. www.winelx.com

sight: Not concentrated, bright ruby red, slightly opaque at the rim, no gas, no sediment. nose: Peppery notes with floral accent, hard to pick out the wood, palate: lighter body, ripe blue and red fruit, med- acid, med- tannins, med- alcohol, well balanced if a bit thin; short finish. Overall: Lacking complexity of a higher end Napa cab. Pleasantly surprised with drinkability. Was great with a rich pasta bolognese. Probably not going to benefit much from additional time in cellar. 89 points

Aroma bursting of fruit. Tastes of extreme cherry and fruit, almost like a cherry tootsie pop. Though fruity, prolonged taste is ordinary an not as rich and creamy and complex as I would expect from a Napa cab. Tannins and Oak are light and not as well integrated as I would like. A good wine but for the price point I expect more. Will not buy more.

Drinkable, not that complex, has a bit of an off taste but not bad. A bit simple, light on mid palate. Will finish the bottle but won't buy again.
