Tried this Cab at home last night. I thought it was an excellent one. Very easy drinking. A good everyday wine. Not your usual oaked Cab. Up front acidity. The nose gives you hints of tons of dark chocolate and earth. On the palate, notes of tart, sour cherry and cranberry keep opening up as one drinks it. The finish is not very austere. A few more months should balance it out some more. Best wines under $25 and a must have at home. By the way, the CC winery sources their grapes from some of Napa's best hillside sites so you actually get what should be a more expensive wine for a great price.
