I was hoping for less sweet, more spice. Very full bodied, as in viscous and thick. Maybe that would mellow with age. Not bad, but yes, kind of simple.

Good example of (lower end) Napa Cab. Seems like a good value. Full body. Stood up to grilled ribeye perfectly. Not offensive. slight sweetness (which I don't dislike) and cedar notes on nose. Recommended.

Too big. Too soon. Rosenblum wines need to settle down. Lesson learned. Try again in a year.
