Initial smokiness and spiciness subsided with the decant, actually to my disappointment. Bold red fruits and grassiness which I like but over time seems to take on a more candied fruit thing. I got this on sale and it went well with a Sunday night meatloaf dinner but I probably won't buy again. I actually don't usually drink Cali Cab and was hoping this would change things...alas... Still a decent wine but nothing special. For the price on sale it was fine.

Fresh sweet plums up front, herbal and smoky. Nicely focused and natural feeling, though priced rather enthusiastically.
