Pop and pour. Truly beautiful for an "entry level" wine. More feminine than the flagship BRAND Cab, but with enough structure to last for a decade or more and will even improve with about 2 to 4 years of aging. Why wait though!

"Second" label I think not; this is a stellar wine period. Rich black fruits, chocolate, cloves and vanilla dominate the silky smooth palate. Pop and pour, it was delicious now (though a touch tannic) and I can see it being delicious in a decade as well.

A great pop and pour wine. Hard to believe it's a "second". Really enjoyable with abundant fruit and well-integrated tannins. Really delicious.

A lot of bottle variation on these guys. This is my 5th bottle in 3 weeks. Beautiful bright blue fruit. Yummy!

Not much more to say than has been said below. This was definitely one of the stars in a big lineup.

Forced to drink this absolutely amazing smooth deep texture, rich fruit flavor 2nd tier wine because Greg Gregory won't release enough of the #1 Brand Estate bottle that I salivate for. This is good...really good!
