With JY Dark red fruit, big cherry fwd/nose Not super tannic on the finish but started to expand as it warmed up; not crazy complex but was trending that way Very tasty

Cork broke when we pulled it, made us nervous but the wine is wonderful. Glad we drank it tonight. Doesn't have many years left but still full bodied and fruit forward. Balanced between acid and fruit. Storing wine in cool dry spot so important

Very good but still not fully mature, or at least at the plateau.There's more life in it.Red fruit and a bit of saddle leather. Fighting above its weight class - remember this is the cheap entry level Montalena Cab. Bought about 2002.

(From memory) Very much alive. Smooth but with noticeable acidity still present. Medium body, smooth. Not a rich-styled wine, but a very good food accompaniment. Flavorful. Enjoyed.

Pop and pore in a nice place with no tannins and dark integrated fruits. A surprising please of sophistication.
