Was a good wine paired with skirt steak and brussel sprouts. The ratings are close to accurate. Let decanter for 5 hours to get a great experience. Flavors fully opened up with strong notes of berries, has a dryer finish, but is completely complimentary to the Brazilian skirt steak dish. Starting to tell the difference with cheaper wines. Time to start spending the additional 10$ for wine that has some more background. Would absolutely get this again. Great night in and hanging with friends wine.

The smoothness of this wine after 5 hours with this steak was unbelievable. Towards the end of the steak and sauce. The flavors gelled together beautifully similar to a new song you found that you cannot stop playing. Great experience wine. Would highly recommend. You need to decanter for awhile.

Dry, relatively high tannins. Dark berry on the palate. Not my favorite cab at this price point.

One of our go-to cabs when we want something smooth, oak and chocolate and delicious. One of Tim's favorites.

This was a gift and turned out to actually be a good one! Enjoyed it with a BBQ dinner and family.
Not a big hitter as far as cabs go, but very balanced and has a smooth finish. Good choice to serve for a gathering of varied palates which may not be up for a full bodied cab but still appreciate a well crafted wine.

Great bang for the buck . Big fruit decent tannins and a good finish . Drinks like a Napa cab for half the price .
