  Pretty solid cab, with its unique sense of terroir, quite concentrated, a bit firm. Showing reasonably well, but will benefit from more time.

  Fantastic. Gave 15 minutes of air to clear up some initial bitterness on the finish and then magic. Perfect balance. Tannins and acidity are enough to give complexity but not overwhelm the delicate flavors. Even Jen loved it and it’s a cab. But more of this.

  Took a moment to breathe and then exceptional. Perfect balance. Full flavor. Tannins and acidity were enough to be complex but not overwhelming. Even Jen loved it despite being a cab after 15 minutes of air. Buy this!

  Lots of menthol/bay leaf, with red and black fruit. Improves with time in glass. Definitely needs more time - but I must say, for the price, I was not blown away. I have a high tolerance for assertive Chilean pyrazine -- that was not the detractor here; more the lack of savory mineral quality that I want in a wine at this price.
