This is a dense cab. Concentrated dark fruit and smoky aromas. Almost meaty, in the way that a good cab suggests a good filet simply by existing. Very full bodied, with some oak and tannins to balance the fruit flavors. Shorter finish than what I was expecting. Good for now and maybe a few years in the future.

Nice cab, but I wished a bit for a bit more varietal characteristics. But this is a seamless, modern style, quite tasty, though it has reasonable structure as well. Probably too young, I think it will improve with time (B+).

Stevie B does it again. I would put this cab up against most at twice the price and it would compete. Plenty of time left on this.

This is a gorgeous wine, full of dark fruit and a long elegant finish with sleek tannins.

Solid balanced, dark black fruits, impenetrable color in the glass. Nice wine.

This is really good cab. Sweet fruit, great aromatics, I wonder if it is straight cabernet? Pretty darn amazing at $35.
