Light and clean. Easy drinker with great balance. More ruby garnet in color. Fruit on the nose and brightness on the palate. Well balanced with medium complexity. Maybe this will add some weight with aging as it is a little light. Tannins almost unnoticeable. Blend unidentified. Super QPR on closeout.

If you like big Napa cabs like Parker then you'll love this one. Grape juice nose with decadence and lingering tannins on the finish. Could be a touch higher in abv than the 14.6 label and it is noticeable on the nose but hidden on the palette by the abundance of fruit. IMO while some pro reviewers reward this style - my score is based on the present and it currently lacks enough depth and complexity at this stage to warrant a higher score.

Interesting blend of Cab, Grenache and Tempranillo. Really enjoyable high octane complex darker fruit wine. This easily stands up to more expensive extracted fruit wines from other regions. My only complaint is the slight alcohol on the nose and some on the finish as without would garner at least a couple points higher score. Labelled around 15% but could be a touch higher...
