1/28/2015 - fearlesswine wrote: NRThis probably won't rock anyone's socks; however, I enjoyed it plenty for a mid-week spontaneous bottle. If you are looking for a nice and drinkable cabernet, this is a great option. Juicy plum flavor with very smooth tannins, gentle even, topped off by a little polish of vanilla on the finish. Fresh and very easy drinking, and the low alcohol keeps it from being too weighty or problematic having it by the glass. |

12/16/2010 - bretrooks wrote: 83 pointsPopped and poured, consumed over ~1 hour. Gets points for being structurally balanced, with slightly rough tannins, a touch of acid, and not as much sweetness as many wines in this price range have. Unfortunately, the fruit character isn't great - the nose is simple and a bit grapey, and the palate reminds me somewhat of flat cherry cola. |

4/7/2012 - sonofabacchus wrote: 86 pointsNot a bad bottle. I was expecting a wine that would be barely palatable and which would require the food to dominate. It was actually quite pleasant. Light red fruit nose, good color, and fully mature body in the mid palate. Finish was medium and taty, with drying peppery overtones, which I do prefer. Not sure about the lower scores others have given. Perhaps its time is now rather than two years prior? I paid five bucks for it back when and would not be disappointed had I paid $15. 86/87 |

Some balanced acidity, mulling spice, rasin and rosewood. Mellowed even more the second day (slight tartness of the first day softening into more of the rasin-y falvor). |

7/1/2008 - MrSnooty wrote: 74 pointsBlah. Nothing to raise this above very average $3-$4 wines like Charles Shaw. A little more austere and less fruity than some bargain wines, but without much flavour or character. Too soft and rounded to start with, and overly dry and puckering on the end. |
