Great find - stellar sleeper from AVV. Great fruit and balance - well rounded all throughout. At $24.99 a bottle, it's an absolute steal - drinks like a $40-$50 California cab.

P: Med, poss LM, body; Nice frt QUICKLY met by dustily tannic pucker which morphs into a LONG, almost swtish finish. NEEDS until Summer '19 or so, then a potential steal, even though this vendor's $19.99 CAN be beaten by ~ $2 @ a couple of different 3/2018 wine-searcher listings. 90 pts Decanter, 89 WA, &, per the winery, a Gold with Judges Selection @ the Texsom Int'l Wine Comp.
