red brick color; notes of vanilla, spice and black raspberry on the nose; low taninns with balance of acidity and black fruit. No flaws, but nothing to write home about.

Filled with blackberry, mulberry, and toast aromas, with shades of vanilla and conifer. Good concentration and middle ripeness on the lush, black fruit palate. Shows adequate structure, dry tannin, and tasty back notes of chocolate and spices.

Delightful. Better than many wines twice as much $$. Solid buy.
Cassis fruit all the way, with oaky (previous commenter noted not much oak, but...) not so subtle spice. Awesome aspect here is the way it transitions from front to mid palate and beyond.

I'm not a wine expert, but for $25/bottle, you cannot go wrong - this wine has character. Classic Sonoma Valley profile, full of fruit, dark garnet to the edge and with a touch of tannins. Certainly a medium-finish wine, but if you are looking to impress your friends while at the same time being fiscally responsible, you should give this wine a try. Recommend you serve the wine at room temperature and aerating before/while serving.
Captured by CellarTracker's Tasting Note Assistant: The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Blackberry, and Black currant (cassis). It tastes like Blackberry, Black currant (cassis), Cherry, and Vanilla with a hint of Mocha. The body is Full. The wine has Satin-like texture. The wine finishes Medium.

Ugh. No maturation. Flabby and bland. I hope the InSinkErator enjoys this.

Smooth cab, I was actually surprise how light and simple this was, I expected some oaky, dense wine.
