Deeply concentrated with the telltale blackberry of the Oakville District. Drinks beautifully now and will last a decade.

Smooth, full, slight fruit, nice round finish. Would buy it again though a little pricey. (20-30?)

Good Napa cab taste for $20 or so. Nothing to write home about, but is definitely satisfies the palate at that price point. A good Napa cab, all in all.

Not much in the way of berry flavors, a hint of pepper. No real tannins. Good everyday wine.
