Not a lot to write about. It’s not bad. Just not remarkable. Nose is more berry than what others said below. On the palate it is big berry that then goes to some tannins and then lingering finish. It’s all fine. Just not as good as a wine of this vintage should be.

Deep colored and hard to find aromatics start this one. Maybe I get wood over any fruit. IN mouth the wine is warming with textured grainy mouthfeel (under-ripened fruit ?). Mid palette and finish is maybe some chocolate and plum. This wine is not for me !

It’s not the QPR I was going for...Napa and Sonoma cabs just don’t just stack up at this price point compared to thier European and S. American counterparts. Acid needs to be tamed in this one.

More complex than most cali cabs. Not a juice bomb. Not an oak bomb. So that’s a win for me. Will lay down the other bottle for a couple years

Blackberry, cassis, hint of vanilla and oak follow through to palate with medium+ body and tannin and med finish. No complexity but good.
