Opened a 1.5 liter last night at a party surrounded by Italian wines and this stuck out LOL. This 2nd wine of Hollywood & Vine is usually a drink now crowd pleaser but this Cab was absolutely delicious! Not too sweet but dark fruit, blackberry, dark coffee and a decent amount of tannins for a decent chewy finish. I can’t believe that I am saying that this wine could have aged a lot longer as if it was a really decent and respectable wine. If you have a 1.5 liter laying about then give it another 5 years; not bad for a 2nd wine!

Plump, lush, and approachable, with jammy black fruit, currant, vanilla, and oak spice notes. Lovely weight and texture, and fruit-driven flavors that seem to melt on the finish. Really tasty and even better with food.

Simple but lush wine with lots of deep dark fruit. Notes of chocolate and cedar. Mouthcoating tannins are sweet. Crowd pleaser.
