Not particularly memorable. (1387 views) Tasted by garypn on 8/5/2012 & rated 89 points: Great napa cab for the price. Well balanced. Ready to drink now.

(1576 views) Tasted by Bruinz on 6/16/2012 & rated 89 points: Great day wine hints of black pepper with a deep cherry and currant base. Solid, crisp finish. Excellent sip for the price point. (1874 views) Tasted by La Cave d'Argent on 6/6/2012 & rated 89 points: This deep-to-opaque ruby wine was popped and poured, then serially tasted over two hours. The nose shows moderately intense aromas of cassis, tree bark and lavender. Medium-bodied on the palate, with low acidity, medium supple tannins and well-integrated alcohol (which is listed as 14.3%). The flavors are black fruit-dominated and the mouth texture is silky. A solid middle palate leads to a medium-length, smooth finish. This is a crowd pleasing "easy-drinker" and (especially at this price point) would be a great selection for a walk-around party. Drink now-12/15. (2145 views) Tasted by wineglas on 5/12/2012 & rated 90 points: Nice base bottling with blueberries, minerals, oak and spice. Medium finish. Drink now through 2015.
