With vague scents of fresh herbs sitting to the rear, it is simple sweetness that drives the candied, marginally varietal aromas of this one, and the wine's lack of muscle, fruity definition and depth on the palate are just what might be expected from a Cabernet of this price.

Community Tasting Notes (average 82.7 pts. and median of 82 pts. in 45 notes)

Rating for United States-California: 91 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>

The 2008 vintage exhibits appealing aromas of black cherry, violets and roasted coffee. Balanced tannins and acidity support core flavors or black cherry, blackberry, and current, interlaced with accents of expresso and black pepper spice.

Nice wine, chocolate berry but light, smooth velvet finish

Don't love it - a little tough to drink a lot of it.<br/>
