This is drinking PERFECTLY now (but no apparent rush). I remember tasting and buying this upon release and admiring he great fruit. It kept getting a bit better, but this latest bottle says it is "there." great vintage of course but a modestly priced wine. Nice surprise. Medium body and very good complexity. Rather pure cabernet fruit flavors. Drink soon, just to be sure

Pleasant surprise for the price. Currant, blackberry, plum, oak, and a little earthiness. High acidity, tannins (a little harsh); full body, medium+ alcohol. An easy drinker, especially with red meat.

We really enjoyed this reasonably priced non-Napa Cabernet. A very pleasant nose with berries and spice. Nice smooth finish.

Very nice; fruit forward and amazing nose. Great thick mouthfeel. Decanted for an hour.
