Wrote a long, detailed review, hit the wrong button, it's GONE! Softer in tannins that you'd expect in a C.S. this young, ready now; berries, hint of "darkness" (pick your own comparison), the berries and the suppleness, not the mild tannic flavors, linger in the finish, my daily plonk with everything except highly spiced dishes or rare steak. I buy it by the case (I have another 200 wines on my shelf to choose from) and -- sorry, wine.com, I'm still a steady customer, but -- found it at a Texas supermarlet chain for "under $12", discounts on 6+.
