Excellent color in glass with browning rims. Nice bouquet. Good body and fruit on palate. Artificial acidification evident but softens with aeration. A solid and straightforward cab but not very complex. No sediment. Should hold another year or two.

Nice structure. Vibrant dark fruit with some tobacco on the nose. Blackberry and plum on the palate. Tannins well balanced. You could do a lot worse at the price.

Nice balanced cab. Has notes of plum, milk chocolate, and blackberry. Decent tannins that balance fruit. Good long finish. Soft enough but hardy enough to match many foods.

Had some trepidation about trying the Cabernet from such a well-known Zin house, but this is a fantastic Cabernet. Plush, dark red berry, with just the right acidity and that slight earthiness that tells you it's from Alexander Valley. Popped and poured and it was delicious right out of the bottle. Tannins and acidity tell me that it has 3 years at least, but it's terrific now.
