I agree with a number of the observations that this has rather soft tannins, a fruity character and a finish reminiscent of a Zinfandel (which makes it a happy more than serious sort of wine). All in all , a really good value for a wine that has flavor and nose, albeit without real complexity, gives the fruit character of Cab, and a medium, but fresh finish.

This was a medium bodied Cab Sauv, very drinkable and soft tannins. Not fruit forward, which is what I prefer, but this is inexpensive, and is good value for the money. There was no sweetness here, or a Zin type finish which I sometimes see with inexpensive Cab Sauvs, and that's a good thing, and it somehow avoided a generic processed Cab Sauv taste as well. Will buy again.

A nose of dark fruits and spices, dark garnet in color. A full bodied red, with black cherry, cassis, cocoa and spice on long finish, an enjoyable wine. www.winelx.com

Cherry, berry, vanilla and oak flavors. Smooth finish. Light enough I thought it was a pinot noir. Great winery we visited by chance driving feom Yosemite to San Fran.

Wente wines tasting (Oinoscent): Ripe profile with mostly black currant, green bell-pepper and some spicyness too. In the palate, the wine shows ripe currant and pepper, easygoing, lacking red strength and complexity, juicy though, low on tannins, med acidity, short to med finish

Open, sip. If you like it, drink away. If you don't, as we didn't, seal it again and let it sit for 5 days. Try it again and see if it's not much better. Not a great wine by any standard, but somehow it gets better with some degree of abuse.

Tasted at Wente tasting at Total Wine in Towson, MD on Saturday, April 8, 2017. Rich but not overly packed. Notes of casis. Nice acidity. Would go great with red wine.
