It's hard not to compare this wine with its stablemates, and, on that basis, this one comes out fifth best, but, it is also relatively inexpensive for a true Napa Valley Cabernet made in substantial volume and available everywhere. Its fruit focuses on basic red cherry character, and its tannins are mild by comparison making it a wine for immediate enjoyment.

Rating for United States-California: 95 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
