Dense fruit competing with some heavy earth notes on the palate. Chewy tannins. Somewhat old-world in style. Not my favorite, but the complexity is impressive for such an affordable California cab.

Inky with a huge oak nose. Aside from the oak, aromas are dominated by plums, with a bit of green pepper and a bit of raspberry. Intense and concentrated flavor. Full body with cotton-like big tannins. Ever so slight sweetness. The high alcohol content (14.5%) was very well balanced by other intense flavors. Very nice. Great QPR. 89+

big, jammy flavors that fall flat on the palate.

Vineyard adjacent to silver oak. A very bold chewy cab. Good structure with rich currant and oak flavors. An excellent buy at 13.99
