This was sold as a pop and drink wine but that was not my case. First impression was off. Weak nose and slightly fruit forward dark cherries was my main thought. So punt away and drink another day. Well the wait was all this needed. The nose opened up and the cherries mellowed and other dark berries came out of hiding. Little bit of spice and maybe herbs finish this wine. Time makes the difference in this wine. Decent and enjoy. — 7 years ago

Cain Merlot special bottling for the 1996 Napa Valley Auction. Not labeled Cain, but Cain cork and Cain Five capsule. Dark fruit, earthy. Balance leans toward acid, but this really grew on me and drank well over two nights. — 9 years ago

Brilliant Red Burgundy, with soft finish but powerful taste, at odds with a gentle nose. We drank with appetizers, before a steak dinner with a Cain Five. — 11 years ago

New release by Cain. Bordeaux blend with fruit from different vintages (majority is 2012). Great effort. Blackberry, leather, with some herbs and spices. Combo a fruit from Spring Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford, Yountville, and Carneros — 10 years ago

Weighty, meaty, smoky, mineral nose with underripe pineapple skin and green mango, burnt golden syrup, grilled pineapple & plantain or sugar cain.
Palate has a real bottom heavy weight, this is wine with a lot of mineral intensity and stoney depth along aniseed infused Asian pear, stony mineral finish, long with great depth — 11 years ago
