This is just their regular cab. I tasted this and was very surprised. It has a nice ruby color and does not seem overly concentrated. The smell is less fruity than a regular CalCab. It smelled more like a good Bordeaux. The taste was a very nice mixture of earth, cherry and leather. Also tasted like a good Bordeaux. Fairly long finish. It is a nice polished wine. I really liked it. I would not hold it any longer as it drinks so nicely now and the tanins are not showing much any longer.
I'd rate it 90.
