What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Spectator: 91 Points
I love this wine for the effortless way it charms. Everything’s restrained, from the currant and cherry flavors to the oak, while the softly sweet tannins create a smooth, mellow mouthfeel. It’s a feminine Cab that will support, not compete with, the best foods. —

What We Thought: Classic California Cabernet with a deep garnet color and a big cedary, blackberry nose.  The ripe medium-to-full-bodied palate is filled with more dark fruits and is lightly structured with very soft tannins.  Not a cellar candidate, but pretty good now with a rare filet.
