Good fruit on the nose and palate, however lacks sophistication of a cab from this area of Napa Valley. Few tannins or hints of spice, or really any traces of elevation terroir you would expect. Nice fire pit wine but not something I would serve prominently with a meal. At the wine.com discount of 19/btl it is a good value, hardly worth the retail price point of 40/btl in what is normally an outstanding vintage.
