  Pop and pour, shimmery red body. Nose has raspberry fruit and leaf, cherry, cocoa powder, orange peel. Nice lighter weight to discern the smooth berry fruit. Has leafy, green peppercorn drying element but not more tannin. Very easy to drink, abv seems average to low.
  Excellent wine. Held its own with beef stew but I think would be better with lighter nuanced flavors like duck.

  What a beautiful wine. Bordeaux in California. Feminine with gorgeous dark fruits beautifully balanced and very long on the palate. Not too much alcohol or overly extracted like so many big scoring CA wines. Bravo

  Napa Bordeaux-Style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (74%), Merlot (10%), Malbec (7%), Cabernet Franc (5%) and Petite Verdot (4%). Deep red/purple color. Aromas of black berry/plum, coffee, smoky oak and black strap molasses. Palate is rich and full of black and blue fruit, toasted nuts, black licorice and baking spices. Nice vanilla component on the finish. Lovely silky structure, texture and tannins. Quite complex but very well balanced and easy to drink.

  full-bodied, elegant wine with a deep ruby color. The nose is dominated by black fruits, such as blackberries, plums, and currants, with hints of chocolate, coffee, and cedar. The palate is rich and complex, with flavors of black fruits, dark chocolate, tobacco, and spice. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, and the wine finishes with a long, lingering aftertaste.

  Wow, what a pleasant surprise at this price range. Def has some earthy notes which is a nice change from a lot of very fruit forwards cabs in this range. Will be buying more of this.
