Someone somehow managed to make a napa cabernet with no aroma and barely detectable fruit. Ghostly. This wine is all structure, like the plywood framing of an unfinished suburban home. An interesting experience, but certainly not pleasurable.

Quite disappointing: This wine is from a great area and vintage (for cabernet sauvignon). Moreover, Costco usually "over-delivers" for the money. Not this time, IMHO.
Deep ruby color, lots of alcohol on the nose, medium-bodied, disjointed palate with harsh tannins. While it will probably get softer with time, I don't think it will ever be "great".

Not too big not too light fruit forward but otherwise well balanced. Decent representation of a Stags Leap district cab. Will buy again!
