Got a bit better with some aeration, decent color, this is what one might expect to get aat a bar (note: not wine bar!) as a wine by the glass, nothing exciting, have had much worse. Drink now, tastes like it's on its way out.

nose isn't too complex. It is fruity with hints of black cherry and blackberry. The wine is light bodied and the finish lingers on. The main thing that I pick up is plum and perhaps cherry. Would buy this wine again.

For under 8 bucks, you can't go wrong. Rich red color, moderate nose, rather simple palate of cherry with some cedar. Bit tart and drying on the finish, but who's complaining? I'm actually amazed for the price that it's this good.

Not a bad color...clear purple red, but this is textbook green pepper on the nose and on the palate...which never went away as I gave it a few days. Overroad the fruit and there was not much framing it all...

This is the second tasting with this bottle. I'm still having toruble figuring out what I smell on the nose. It is dominated by pepper in the mouth. I taste a hint of blackberry and maybe way back there some cherry.

Solid nose of leather and smoke. Big fruit of cherry and black raspberries. Nice soft finish. ($8)

I think I have to rate this higher than last year. Nice carbernet at this age.

Nothing exceptional, but for under $10, a decent every-day quaff

Good, but not as good as their Merlot or Carmenere. The '05 Little Penquin is a much better value Cab Sav.

A little bit better than an average table wine - full with a touch of spicy or earthiness.

An easy drinker with broad appeal (good for large parties). Not extrodinary by any means, but a decent wine for the price.
