Opened for about 30-minutes; Nose of cherry, currant, a whiff of tobacco and earth; taste consistent with nose- cherries. currant, hint of tobacco and oak, medium body and finish; soft tannins, good balance, drinking well now; nice cab and very good value for price (on sale for $17), but not outstanding.

Should have drank this last year-past its prime. I've had other vintages and they were great but this one is not.

Not horrible but not great. May be passed its prime.

This wine has improved in the cellar. It is ready for drinking and won't last much longer. The red fruits still dominate with undertones of tobacco.

Not impressive. Decent fruit but no structure.
