I wasn't expecting too much from this bottle as it was outside its CT drinking window, but it turned out to be a nice surprise! Expressive nose with a refreshing aroma (plums & casis?), smooth silky palate with secondary flavors. Decent finish length.

Big wine with nice structure. Nose was a little dissapointing compared to the body, but had hints of fruit and maybe tar. Balance is nice. Wish the finish were a little longer and more drawn out. Ready to drink , the acids and tannins have bithvmelliwed ro make a very smooth drinkable wine.

This wine is VERY tight upon opening and almost watery. After about an hour and a half it opens up wonderfully to jammy and earthy flavors - a great young cab for the price.

This is a tasty wine. Decent value. I'll buy more, not huge tanic structure but should be good for a few years yet.

Smooth, richer than I had hoped for $12. One of the best cabs for the money that I have had. Went well with prime rib at Xmas dinner.
