Lime, peach, cantaloupe, wet rock on the nose. Grapefruit, lime, honeycomb, peach, minerals with medium+ acidity on the palate. Good example of the rich, ripe fruit as well as acidity and freshness this varietal can offer. Great value and super drinkable. — 5 years ago

The benchmark from which I Judge all Cali Cab Francs. Such a great wine. Just enough fruit, just a tad of spice — 7 years ago

Awesome cab. Explosion of red fruit on the palate, turning dark on the finish with tar and spices. Floral nose, powerful mouthfeel with a nice touch of tannin.. I'm going to have to look more into these guys. — 8 years ago

En Magnum. Nice early effort from @Mike Smith - drinking very well. Still some tannic grip on opening. Nice dark fruit/plum, a bit of leather and a touch of green pepper - just enough to add character without dominating. Really nice mouthfeel as well. — 9 years ago

Ooh la la! Fantastic crisp apple-pear fruit laced with a streak of minerality and beautiful richness and length. Lovely now and sould last another 5+ years. — 10 years ago

A tasty Napa Bordeaux blend, well made, slightly high toned and pushing the acidic side of the spectrum. That’s said, was quite enjoyable, but there are certainly others that are at least comparable if not better at this price point. — 6 years ago

Pours a lovely golden color, pineapple nose, smooth on the palate before a tingle comes in that lingers, good level of butteriness with a lighter finish. Yum! — 7 years ago

Went with the Pacific NW for the big game. Aromas and notes of black fruits, pepper, and meat. Appropriately big, powerful, but agile. Terrific. — 11 years ago

This is more refined the second time around. Pulled a few fun bottles and this has gotten to a place that it's beyond the simple side. Leather, dark cherries stand out on the nose. Dark fruit on the palate is sitting beautifully. Tannins still slightly aggressive but it was enjoyable. I'd still pick this as a Cabernet blindly. Wish I would've bought more! — 9 years ago

Sometimes you don't want to analyze, and just enjoy. This was one of those moments. — 10 years ago

Delicious and hedonistic. Rich textures and dark fruit. Some leathery like aromas with hints of herbs — 11 years ago
