Perhaps this vintage needs another year in the cellar? Citrusy, closer to Sauvignon Blanc, still pleasant, particularly in warm weather. Paired well with chicken. — a month ago

Tried for the first time. Jammy, not tannic, yet too much for pasta (tortellini—yes, I should’ve had a white); probably better with veal or pork. — 5 months ago

Spectacular with grouper. Bright, neither oaky nor buttery. — 7 months ago

This was the jewel of all of the wine options at this particular restaurant. Full-bodied, a bit fruit-forward; went well with both veal Marsala and lasagna. Bonus: the leftover wine, when corked and stored in the refrigerator, held up well for a week. — a month ago

Hugo’s Cellar has a great wine list! This one is a more fruit forward Cab, but not one that overpowers filet. — 5 months ago

Agree with others’ comments including “chewy” and “lots of tannins left” yet fruit-forward. Kind of reminded me of a Meritage. Very nice with filet. Held up well; needed a little time to open. — 9 months ago
