Another vintage, another nice bottle of wine. Tart cranberry and sour cherry along with a nice smoky/sooty note. A great $20USD Napa cab. Paired well with a tin of Trader Joe's smoked trout, cream cheese, and almond nut thin crackers.
Popped and poured. Needs about 20 minutes to breathe before becoming very smooth and balanced. Not a huge wine - perhaps a bit light, but for the price point, this is very good. Drank alongside a 2009 Atalon which was showing somewhat rough tannins.
