Family just finished a bottle.Last glass better than the first glass.Edge pink, no browning.Took about a half hour to strut its stuff. Medium body deep and delicious as a finesse wine,
This is cheap wine sold to the masses. Very soft and fruity. I guess this qualifies as a "porch pounder". There is nothing in it that convinces you it is cabernet sauvignon.

Tiny bit porty, mid weight cab with darker fruits. Not much structure, clunky. A decent effort for the price. Was a bit to weak to stand up to new york steaks for me.

Better after opened for a day. Not a bold cab, soft. Earthy, lacking complexity.

Excellent for the money. Not overly sweet, but still easy drinking red wine.

Good QPR, light smoke on entry followed by dark fruit. Not overly complex but decent tannin structure for this price range.

Really fruity, full on black berries. Not very complex in taste, but easy going in a friendly way. I like it.

Much more substance compared to Panamera or RM Twin Oaks. Good value.

Not a bad wine. It's not the most complex of wines, but I wouldn't be ashamed to serve this at a party.

Like drinking water. A very weak cab. Easy to drink but not in a way that you are looking for.

Ripe plum nose. Red fruit, plums, soft tannins. Nice drinker.

Full bodied red without harsh tannins. Fruit forward with berry and cherry flavors.

Dark purple; berries, mint, prune nose; mid-body; balanced; a little hot on the finish. Rib and BBQ wine.

Restaurant by-the-glass pour. A little RS but dark color, plummy fruit and some tannin made it pretty good.

This wine is nice for the price. It's not a bold cab that will slap your face. Its more subtle, light and pleasant.
