“This wine is amassing an enviable track record at an affordable price level. It’s not overly weighty, woody, or assertive, but does afford a lot of flavor, and delivers it in a lastingly delicious manner. This will out-perform many Cabs at twice its price on grounds of purity and immediate enjoyability.”

“Floral, plummy aromas and delicious raspberry and red cherry flavors animate this medium-bodied, moderately tannic wine. Nicely ripe it's also nicely tangy, making for good balance.”

“This is a lush, ripe and rich cabernet, its sappy red and green fruit notes rounding out the sweet baking spice of the tannins. It’s gentle, harmonious and comforting.”
