This wine pours beautiful dark purple red. Its nose is moderate. As other reviewers have mentioned it is quite “jammy“. Beautiful texture. Flavors of dark fruits, and after it was open for a while maybe some deep cherry. I found it fairly acidic and with light tannins . It has a moderate finish which was very nice. It went great with spaghetti and meatballs we paired it with. I’ll definitely be buying this again. It’s usually a pretty good value for a Napa cab at places like Trader Joe’s. I would even call it a “value Napa.“
