This medium bodied cab did its duty, especially for the price point. Well rounded, smooth tannins, lingering finish. Overall, it was a polite neighbor, did not take over and try to dominate but appropriately entered conversation and added to the meal, hung on for a while and then thanked us and said good night. I would buy this again.

Fully mature cab that is at its peak. Great bouquet of black cherries and blackberries filled the room along with some cedar box. Medium weight but fully flavored wine with the cherries and dark fruit being in perfect balance with the acid and the tannin. Nice long finish that ended with enough tannin and acid to clear the palate for the next sip. Great wine with a simple grilled steak.

Dark fruits and tobacco on the nose. Very tannic right out of the bottle, but that smooths out after 30 minutes. Interesting wine that I found very enjoyable.

This wine is still drinking amazingly well. Plenty of fruit and some remaining silky tannins.
