Charming but maybe a little too bland and nondescript. Good fruit, not jammy at all but a little more structure would have upped the score by a point or two. If you have any, start drinking up. Not sure this has enormous ageing potential.

I'll give this a 90, even though it's not my style.This wine is a new world fruit bomb with tannin completely tamed. Many consumers will love this wine, and I understand. Well made wine.

Typical California Cabernet. Smooth and pleasant to drink, but heavily extracted and lacking nuance. The score reflects my taste and I realize that this style is very popular. Went well with barbecue.

I enjoyed this and as anyone could tell from browsing my cellar I don’t tend towards Napa. Red and black fruit on the nose. Creaminess on the palate that I quite liked. Tannins well in the background so I think this was the right time to open this. Only negatives were that it lacked a little complexity and showed a little bit of alcoholic heat. Overall very good though.
