A pleasant Cab Sauv, though it doesn’t have a lot of punch… Flavors of blackberry, plum and cassis.

Blend of 90% California Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% California Merlot. Dark ruby color. Aromas of black berry/currant, dusty earth and oak. Pallet is rich with flavors of black berry/raspberry, blueberry, cranberry and plum with hints of baking spices and oak. Hint of vanilla on the finish. Fairly soft tannins. No evidence of “smoke-taint.” Not overly plush and luxurious but this wine is fairly well balanced and provides good and consistent value.

Worthy California Cab that goes toe to toe with Napa bottles costing three times as much. Tasty blend of dark fruit, muscular tannins and Cabernet minerality: a great steak wine. Pleasant nose giving a preview of what’s to come, with a solid finish featuring notes of graphite and cocoa—just delicious. Enjoyed the 2020 vintage with bone-in ribeye at The Palm Restaurant, celebrating my son Robert’s 22nd birthday.
