  Incredible! Opened March 2023. Not sure how this ended up in our collection - I think it was either a Buena Vista cellar sale or Grocery Outlet score. Based on other reviews, we were worried this was over the hill but this was not the case. PnP. Softened and well-intregated, with still a touch of tannins still present. Tertiary notes beginning to emerge but surprisingly no brickishness in color. I actually think this could have aged even longer

  Powerful nose of raspberry and leather, lighter body and most Napa cabs. Cherry, plum and leather. Excellent value for $8 at grocery outlet and drinking well for a 2002.

  Just way past prime. I don’t think the sink even appreciated it when I dumped it out

  Fantastic wine and it was cellared to mature way passed expected prime. Will look for more of this wine and store a few for 10-15 years. Sipped a glass but will save the rest for steak dinner tonight.

  Very good Napa Cabernet. Used Corovin and it drank well as soon as I poured it.
  Faint alcoholic nose. Dark red color. Medium body. Soft tannins, not a big bold wine. Long legs. Medium to long finish.
  Goes well by itself or with food. At it's peak or just past. Drink it now and enjoy.
