User Tasting Note
-
bballmom55Wine Enthusiast: 91 points. A solid Cabernet, dry and full-bodied, showing classic flavors of blackberries, currants and oak, with hints of vanilla and toast. Feels rich in the mouth, a wine to enjoy through a long finish. Great price, and it could even develop in the bottle over the next few years. Editors' Choice Wine Guy: A classic Napa nose displays plenty of cedar and cassis along with strong chocolate notes, leading to a ripe, velvety, full-bodied palate of blackberry and black cherry supported by the supplest of tannins. No decanting necessary
