This was probably one of the finest California Cabs I've tasted-probably because it had a much more Bordeaux like quality than the normally simple sweetness that I associate with cabs. A lovely earthy character, deep dark fruit and balanced with supple tannin. Excellent.

I can see how this wine would be very appealing to California wine afficionados for its brazen burly character. I found it to be every bit as big and 'in your face' as his chardonnay and syrah. Sort of a strange style-no true finesse.

This is a somewhat disappointing wine-very one-dimentional and boring. It was made in a very traditional style. Obviously the Pride reds are much more suited to the winemaker's style. It could have been one of a hundred nondiscript wines from Napa.

High alcohol taste, almost chemical overtones. Not worth buying again. Visit my website: The Wine Collector
