  Some vanilla on the nose. Tart red fruits. Acid higher than expected. Nice finish. Holds well in glass.

  Surprised by the low scores this is getting. Thought it was quite enjoyable, particularly when considering the price and that it's from a below average vintage. Notes of sweet tobacco, roasted coffee bean, and chocolate nicely frame plentiful dark fruit (no herbal notes at this point). Just enough acid to keep it fresh, and smooth tannin make for very easy drinking.

  Shockingly good for the price. Stood up well in a blind tasting against 5 other 2010 Napa Cabs -- many of which were more than twice the price. Well integrated, balanced. No taste or smell overpowered another. Well structured and should hold up well in the cellar. I personally don't like this winery or its "held hostage" club, but this was a really good wine at a really good price.
