Color: Deep Violet Nose: Very Oaky and smells of high alcohol content Palate: Once you get past the heat of the alcohol, there are some Cab Sauv characteristics, but they are very muted. Thoughts: Tasted and bought in the fall of 2011. At that time I thought wine had potential so I cellared for year and then tasted. Was I ever wrong, this wine was better a year ago than now. Very disappointed. We now use this wine for cooking.

Super ripe and super jammy with black currant jam and plum flavors. Soft, round, and jammy on the palate with low acid and a good bit of back end tannin. There is virtually no varietal character here, and the alcoholic heat is obtrusive. Yikes.

Smooth, sweet, very minimal dry taste on my tongue. Had with cheese and 365 wheat crackers and then chicken wild-rice soup.
$11.99

This is one of my favorite wines. It has a distinct oak flavor.

Average at best even at this price point. Would not buy again.

My impression improved of this moderate cab. No bragging rights, but a modest dinner wine, with clean finish.

A medium bodied Cab with a finish that gave some hints of chocolate. Not amazing, but was good with a spaghetti and meat sauce.
