rar8888's Review:

Old world style that isn't overly fruity. Very smooth with some notes of smoked meats.

Very smooth. Classic dark cherry napa cab.

rar8888's Review:

Along with the ripe fruit I got lots of smoke and meaty notes from this bottle. It was very unique and welcome change up.

rar8888's Review:

This is a wonderful zesty zin.

rar8888's Review:

Great bottle for the price.

rar8888's Review:

This is a classic Napa cab. Bright fruit with substancial vanilla and spice. This was still a bit tight after 2.5 hours open.

rar8888's Review:

This was a nice Bordeaux style blend that really needs some time decanting before drinking. Dark color and substantial mouth feel. This is nice.

rar8888's Review:

This is a great Napa Cab for this price. It is not as complex or long as more expensive bottles but it is a great example of the classic Napa notes for around $20. There are notes of bright cherry fruit, vanilla , and rasberry. There is a lot of fruit up front but that fades quickly into well rounded tannins and a short finish.

rar8888's Review:

Very big, spicy wine. The nose has hints for tobacco, chocolate and oak and huge notes of fresh dark fruit especially dark cherry. There is substantial acid and tannins for a zinfandel. The wine is also high in alcohol at 15.3% but it isn't overpowering because of how big this wine is.

rar8888's Review:

This is a very solid cab at a very good price. I am impressed with this wine.
