Lightweight but stylish quaffer; fairly assertive nose, with oak and spicy scents. On the palate it has subdued fruit, only a little oak, but a nice tannic base and some minerality on the finish. Also a little tar and leather. Nicely balanced, but a little lacking in depth. Terrific value, especially if you like your Cab a bit on the lean side without a lot of jammy fruit.

Taste: Full bodied with medium acidity and chewy tannins. The structure is there, but it's not overpowering with dark red cherries, black currants, and dark red fruits.
Overall: This is a nice and balanced Cab. There is a good fruit base, but it certainly isn't a fruit bomb.

Great QPV with a pleasing nose, nice balance and dark berries with a hint of cloves on the pallet.
