Paired with a nice New York Strip. Delicious wine, jammy and well balanced with a luscious full mouth feel. Dark fruit, blueberry pie, cedar box, vanilla, with just a hint of a floral note. Smooth and sustained finish. I've tasted Napa Cabs at double this price point that could easily be confused with this offering from Clif Family Winery. Make a stop next time you're in St. Helena!

Too fruit forward, lacks acid balance. Feels flabby because of the lack of balance. Too sweet. Reasonable, but i wouldn't want to eat it without food. Adequate as a second bottle for people you don't want to impresses

A reasonably balanced and medium bodied red, with just enough tannins to give some structure, enough fruit to be pleasant without food (but better with), and hints of spice and earthy tones.
