honestly am surprisingly impressed with this wine given my expectations. opened for just an everyday glass tonight with pizza and was pleasantly surprised by how well this wine has held together, esp for the year and appellation. very fruity. nice medium body mouth feel all the way through and great polish. yes not a ton of tannic structure, but it is a 7 year old carneros cab that cost <$25. visiting Truchard several years ago was a very pleasant and welcoming experience as is this wine. bravo!

Just a bit past it’s sell by date, but the fruit is fine enough to fight through and show it’s quality.

East Block. Nice softer style napa cab. Still has good fruit. Could go another year, but best to drink up.

No formal notes. Decanted 1 hr. Lots of tannin and acidity but the fruit is starting to fade. Still a nice wine but time to drink up.

Fruitty for a cab. Very smooth, medium body. Light tannins. Very balanced for a young cab. Plum and cassis flavors. A very pleasant wine.
