  What a crazy value - a flamboyant, expressive cab that has a nice, elegant finish. Really well done, more red fruit than black, needs maybe two hours to unwind. This will last a while. Already a fan of her rosé, syrah and chardonnay, so this was a nice discovery. My first cab in over a month and it reminds me of why I like the stuff.

  I am not at all familiar with this brand, but I think I need to be: dark and rather brooding in the glass with dark berries, mocha, and ample spice on the nose. The palate is rich and inviting: blackberry and cassis initially lead to mocha and depth on the midpalate. The spice (clove?) comes rushing in just before the finish--delightful. I would never say I am a "Cab Guy" but this wine could certainly start me headed in that direction. thedrunkencyclist.com
