Wine Critic Review - timelesswines.com
The 2012 Lodi Cabernet has all the classic notes of a California Cabernet Sauvignon. Cloves, olives, and oak with a no nonsense, fruit forward finish reminding you why it is the heaviest wine in the Purple Paws line, lends itself to pairings of robust steaks or lamb.

My Review - This had many dark fruit smells reminiscent of blackberry, plum, cranberry and black cherry. It was more of a red/orange color rather than darker red/violet. It had thicker legs and not much of a mid palate. I think it would go well with a nice steak. It was a very smooth, great finish. I did not try this wine with food.
