I really enjoy this wine. When I first bought it I needed to decant it for approximately 3 hours prior to trying it. Now it comes perfectly out of the bottle. When I first opened it, there was a funky note on the nose and I thought it might be on its way down. But, the funkiness past very quickly and it just opened up to the bright well structured cherry based cab. It was delicious and went down quickly. I think that it is drinking perfectly now, so drink up!

Rich, incredible garnet color. The wine tasted like an unusually fruity Bordeaux, without the subtlety. The wine was still a little tannic, with no signs of the fruit fading. It was a good wine, but not worth the $39.99 price.

Aged nicely, Bordeaux-like cab blend. Seemed to have lost most of its fruit notes, but complex, tobacco, tar
