A nose of dark fruits and some spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied Cab, with blackberry, cherry, cocoa, with spiced finish, easy drinking, a good value. www.winelx.com

Seductive nose with blackcurrent and spice; good color. Nicely balanced on the palate, tannins still a bit astringent upon opening, but softened fairly quickly. Oak is prominent. Not overly fruity, but enough fruit to offset the underlying earthiness. Good mouthfeel, almost chewy. Not quite as rich as the 2008, but this may just need another year or two in the bottle. One of the very best California Cabs I have found in the $15 - $20 price range. Really quite nice.

Ready to drink right out the bottle. Cheap cab that's has some complexity and is not overly oaked. Wonderful mid week wine.

Red fruits, minerals and spice. Consume now Cabernet and not meant to age.
