This is one of the nicer value Napa Cabs I've had in a while. For about $25, if you look around, you get an open, ripe, round, fruity wine with a touch of heat on the palate, but plenty of ripe fruit to make it fun to drink.

Popped on Election Night, no formal notes, but this is one solid cab for the price. Do have to say that with extended air time, appears to "thin a little", so don't recommend decanting, but still a great performance from a $30 bottle!

Wasn't sure what to expect, but was blown away at the QPR on this wine. I believe it is 14.7, and upon initial PnP, seemed a bit "boozey" on the nose, but once in glass, blew off quickly.
On the palate mostly black fruit with an intermingling of some red tossed in, with some nice spice elements and some oak influence, but definitely well integrated.
These were ready to go 'outta the gate' but definitely benefited with some air in glass, and think it could have benefited with a short decant, maybe pop 1 pt.
For a sub $30 bottle of Napa Cab, Atlas Peak District, this might be my favorite under $50 I've tried all year!!

Fruit forward Napa Cab. Went well with grilled meats. Great deal at $25. Would definitely purchase again.

This wine has great structure and complexity. A real value in Napa Cabernet.
