Picked up 3 bottles at my local TJs about a month ago upon the recommendation of a staff member, who said it was his favorite TJ Cab under $10, ever! Brought them home and shared with some neighbors on a Friday night. Very approachable and easy drinking cabernet. Fruit forward without a doubt, with plenty of blackberry as you might expect from a Napa Valley Cab. While a tad jammy, hints of vanilla, oak, herbs and minerality all come through adding some true substance and character to the wine. Almost a cross between a Zin and a Cab. Subtle tannins and an easy finish. Best TJ Cab ever under $10? I don't know about that. But pretty darn good for $5 and a classic example of a wine you keep on hand for simple every day drinking. VERDICT: Get it!
