Disagree with the reviews that this Miner cab seemed light. It had plenty of body with fruit in evidence. It did lack the complexity that I had hoped to enjoy. Still tasted great with steak au poivre.

Okay but not up to expectations for a Stagecoach Vineyard Cab - a bit light, a bit tart and one dimensional. Fruit seems to be fading so I doubt there’ll be much improvement with more cellar time.

A drinkable wine, but not very complex. Fruit (dark berries) is muted. Rather bland and light on the palate. Finish is medium. Miner Cabs of vintages 10 or more years ago were better than this vintage. Stagecoach vineyard grapes should not be the issue.

Scored exactly where it should on CT.....a little cedar to go with some tart red cherry fruit. Nice wine, a little light in the mouthfeel department but good fruit. Minor depth issues. Ending could be a little longer. I wouldn't hold these more than another 3-5 years tops.

Purple and opaque with a mountain fruit nose. The nose is ripe chassis, vanilla and red fruit. Roberta thinks there are peaches on the palate. The fruit shows well and is both rich and textured. The palate is velvety with balanced acidity and round tannins. Drinks inline with its price point. 5+12+16+8=91.
