Good Cabernet for the price. It’s pretty tough and hard in tannins, and very dry, but shows a fine, full-bodied structure, with classic blackberry and cassis flavors. Drink now, after a good decant.——S.H.(12/1/2011)—— 86

A good, somewhat rustic Cabernet to drink now. It’s nicely dry, with fine, softly intricate tannins, and the flavors are ripe in black currants and chocolate. Drink now. ——S.H.(12/31/2010)—— 87

Pretty good Cab for the price, a little soft, but ripe enough, with upfront blackberry and cherry flavors and that chocolate fudge note that marks so many modern Cabs. It’s a pleasantly dry wine with some real complexity. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 85

Seems like it was rushed to market, and is thus sharp and acidic now, with tart blackberry and blueberry jam flavors. But this is a wine that could well benefit from cellaring.——S.H.(8/1/2005)—— 86
