Based on my prior note and price point, I squirreled a few bottles away as cellar defenders. Popped and poured tonight, and the wine is extremely soft and easy drinking. Red fruits, chocolate, cedar, hay, dill. Still a nice tannic grip, but feeling a touch flabby. I’ll share with friend over the next year or two.
Good find for available everywhere wines. No idea about other vintages, but if this is any indicator this will be up there with St. Michelle as a grab at the grocery wine.

The 2013 vintage of Napa cabernet is so good that even entry level bottles can be excellent with a little cellaring.
