  I was pleasantly surprised. A nice wine for drinking socially at a good price.

  I'll keep this short - this is a very nice wine, regardless of price and especially at the price. Balanced, medium complexity, nice finish with juicy mouthwatering acidity and long lingering aftertaste. What's not to like?
  Needs a few minutes of decanting, and it's ready to go. It's a real wow at the price. Have tasted two dozen or so other '09 '10 and '11 cabs in the under $30 range in the last 3 months, and none of them were better, only a couple were as good, and they were pushing the $30 mark. Sure speaks volumes for the '12 vintage!
  
  Consistent over 5 bottles tasted, every 5 days, 3 weeks apart start to finish.
  Gentle tannins, good acid. Will probably hold up well for 18 to 24 months
  
  88 may be too low a score. May well end up revising this to a 90+
