I apologize if anyone has posted a TN on this, but did a search and couldn't find one for this vintage.

Purchased a week and a half ago locally for right around $15.

Opened while preparing Broccoli & Cheddar stuffed chicken breasts--strange pairing, I know, but was dying to try it so I figured I'd give it a go. Dark, dark, dark purple color. So concentrated the color clung to the sides of the glass when swirled. Pronounced dark fruits on the nose. Strong flavors of plum and black cherries and strongly tannic upon the first sip, but it really smoothed out within the next hour of drinking. Full-bodied with a medium length finish. A great value. 90 pts.

RobM,

I think you'll find the Cab as equally as nice too - also I believe now the the weather is nice you can buy this by the case at B21 for $11.99
