  Very surprised by the enjoyable taste and longevity of this wine at this price point.
  
  Tasting upon first opening was worrisome with harsh dark fruit flavors and high tannin. Immediately ran it through an aerator and notice a considerable improvement. 90 minutes later this wine was a delight. Dark rich juicy fruit with hints of dark chocolate

  Really great dark fruit with smooth mouthfeel. Great great Cab for $15.

  This was a really great Cab for the ($15) price. Quite similar to a Napa Cab, with lush black and blue fruit, plus lashings of dark chocolate and pretty decent acidity. Remained quite classy despite it whispering in year ear (okay maybe shouting) for you to drink more. Sadly our bottle was accidentally broken the next day, so we didn't get to enjoy the other half on the second night. Would definitely purchase other wines from this estate based on the quality. Good deal from Last Bottle.
