From magnum. 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Petit Verdot from the Huerhuero Vineyard and the Creston Valley Vineyard. Aged in French, Hungarian and American oak. Burnt red color. This wine had a bit of sourness to it. Lighter fruit profile with some underbrush and leather notes. Moderate tannins. Felt like it was overoaked. Not a fan. 82 points.

Even though retail has gone up ~$2 it's hard to think of a better anytime CS value one can pop and enjoy consistently for <$20, I really should make this the house Cab. Good balance of sweet black cherry & black currant, with noticeable but balanced tobacco-cedar and minty anise. Finishes with a flourish of creamy mocha on a soft but structured frame. Worthy of a decant, tasty stuff, 90 - 92+
