Good representation of socal cabernet! Quite different from prior years. Not sure if i like this or the 2016 better but both are excellent options! Could be a bit bolder but that's what the contango is for. Overall, it is a very affordable and drinkable wine that should hold up for several more years.

Fathers day was a great success thanks to Grimm's Bluff. Needed a last minute gift for my dad and i know he loves their cabs. Ordered 3 bottles at 4pm on a Friday and they had it shipped out by the next morning and my dad received the wines Sunday morning! Great service and great wines. If you need a gift, grimms won't let you down!
