I bought this wine from a small wine store in downtown San Francisco on a recent business trip. I bought the Bommarito on the same trip. The proprietor described this as the best Cab in the price class and the Bommarito as "also very good." I would reverse the order of that assessment, at least right now. This Twenty Rows Cab has a very deep color, like Concord grape juice almost. It has an aroma of ripe fruit, plum and currant mostly. It simply clings to the sides of the glass as you swirl it and for minutes beyond. The flavor is mild and sweet at first but then explodes into a combination of spice and oak. The finish is long. I think the Bommarito is more accessible right now but this one will age very well and it's "also very good" right now.
