Wonderful nose of oak and dark berry fruit. Full bodied and long finish that is only slightly dry. All 3 of us did not mind the dryness at all because the complex, spicy, berry cab fruit was so persistant and the good dose of oak well integrated. This made for a long, complex finish that stood out more than the slight dryness of the few tannins left. Others may have had a bad bottle. This was REALLY good but don't wait any longer to drink.

This wine was just OK. A fruit bomb without much structure to back up the fruit. I don't think this wine will improve with cellaring. Not a bad wine, but not worth the price.

this is why I tend to not like central coast cabs - green pepper and herbal on both the nose and the palate. Not very well balanced. Overall, I would give it a not horrible or undrinkable - not a ringing endorsement.
