Comments: I first had this wine at a local restaurant called Bin 555, imagine that. I like this wine on occasion as it offers a change-up from the usual cabs I drink on a weekly basis. To my palate its sweeter and fuller compared to some other choices in the same varietal. The peppery finish kills the sweetness at the end and makes easy to want the next drink. It is a bit richer than most of the other wines I drink and therefore I don’t drink it in excess. Hah! Who am I kidding! I’ll drink it all night long, every night of the week if its there!
