Slightly above average. Good value for the cost. Fair amount of oak. Nice mouthfeel. Nothing remarkable or outstanding, either to the positive or negative.

This bottle of wine was a gift from a co-worker. This is a perfectly fine daily drinker. It does not reveal much on the nose, but there is some lavender and lilac notes along with a bit of black currant. On the palate, this is pretty linear with a bit of dried herbs, integrated tannins, and some cassis. There is no acidity to speak of, and the finish is clean but dry. Drink it if you have it.

A cool breeze kind of nose, very floral with hints of cinnamon and other holiday spices. Really very nice. On the palate, not a great deal of heaviness, although it filled out nicely. The peach / cinnamon dichotomy prevailed. A very tasty wine that didn't blow me over in the end, but it's an extremely pleasant quaff.

It has been a while since I tried a sub-$20 Cabernet. I was gifted three of these, so I decided to try one. Not much on the nose; on the palate, cherry cough drop and a strong cola element. Somewhat sweet, and only a little bit of acidic bite on the short finish; no problem with oak, however. There is nothing wrong with this, and I have party guests that will love this one, but I think I have gotten used to more expensive wines.

This Wine was given to us by a Friend. For the Price Point, it is very good and easy to drink. For a Cab it's not complex, but still smooth. I would buy again.

Mulberry with magenta rim; full bodied, bright and lively with black currant fruit, cola, chocolate, and spice flavors; develops whiffs of sandalwood and roses; a notch of graphite minerality adds dimension to the grippy finish. Still tight but displays youthful grit.

A good wine. Nothing offensive. Decent mouth feel. Smooth out the gates. Medium flavor and body.
This wine is an excellent daily drinker.

nothing memorable but not a bad sub $20 cab, especially on day 2 after being opened and corked overnight.
