  underwhelming, ordinary cab, not much complexity, drinkable and unassuming, but so many better choices for the price

  Really tasty. Concentrated, maybe just a hint more oak than I like, but I would buy again.

  Medium purple color. Not overly aromatic on the nose with some dark berry notes and a little cassis along with some strong oak notes and a touch of heat coming through. More of the same on the palate with medium tannin and acid with a good dose of vanilla and oak. Not much of a finish. Pretty straightforward and somewhat simple cab but enjoyable nonetheless.

  Great deep color. Bouquet is opening up well nut not overpowering. Full in flavor without being too heavy. Complex structure balanced throughout. Just on the bring of being memorable

  Unimpressive. Dark and tannic, but unbalanced. Llicorice, spices and currant aromas and flavors
