Very enticing nose of red fruit cherry and cedar.strong tannins add grip but this wine will will be a mellow monster in a few years.
Reasonable alcohol level and very nice finish this wine will be great w veal or a book by the fire. Going to drink next 2016.

Medium+ ruby with a medium to medium+ intense nose.

Positives: What a nice surprise to have a Napa Valley Cab for under $20 that doesn’t taste like blueberry jam on toast. This wine features cedar, raspberry, plum, ribena, blueberry, mocha, cherry and a touch of leather. Medium+ body, tannins, acidity and length.

Negatives: None

Interesting Point: Very similar to Errazuriz Max Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, Chile ($18.5 & a best buy from my earlier review), but not as strong in the ribena and blueberry notes.

Tasted: 9 Jan 13

Best Buy

Drink now or over the next 3 years, on its own or pair it with tenderloin steak.

Score: 9/10, Value: 9+/10, Total: 18+/20

Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 4
