Very similar to Caymus Cabernet but more structure and less syrupy. After a 2/3 hrs of decanting it opened up beautifully and the complexity shined through. This is quite a well made wine~do not hesitate to buy if you can!

This is a really nicely balanced wine. For the price(<$31) it is a real surprise to me! Dark color, highly perfumed nose, nice brightness in fruit yet completely ripe, solid finish. Buy this if you can get your hands on it...the 2012 is much better than the 2011 and totally worth it!

After a 4 hour decanting, this is amazing! At $45 it is worth way more than it costs when compared to many other Napa Cabs over $80 or $100. It hits all the sweet spots on the palette, has a great finish for being so young and the aftertaste is as consistent as the beginning.
