P: Med body, RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt (I suspect threshold R.S.) met by some puckerish astringency which morphs into a LONG, tangy/swt (30:70) finish with hints of spice to the very, VERY slight bitterness. For now & into '21? 14.5% ABV; My VG/VG+. [This vendor's $14.95 is at least $1 < its closest wine-searcher competitor.]

Jam and grassy nose, initial tastes of dark fruit and balanced. Interesting fruit roll up finish that becomes drowned out by alcohol. Great QPR and with red meat. Will buy again at the 16 dollar price

A little on the jammier side than the previous bottle but still good. Very soft tannins that allowed the fruit to show through. Cherry with oak and chocolate with hints of thyme. A good every day wine and good value.

Beautiful nose of black fruit with some herbal notes. Bright acidity with concentrated flavors of blackberry & black cherry. Some oak and woody spices - softish tannins with a solid level of acidity .A nice, full-bodied Cab although young is certainly drinkable now. Certainly an excellent value for the money and a good lead in to Tuck Beckstoffers higher end wines.

P: MF, poss M, body; Nice, ALMOST swtish frt off-set by very, VERY slightly puckerish astringency which morphs into a LONG, pleasant finish with a swtness to the minimal tannins. For now & probably into, if not through, '21. NICELY done in its style! My VG+, arguably more *if* QPR a focus. [This vendor's $14.95 is at least $1 < anyone else currently listed on wine-searcher.]

Had high hopes for this but was disappointed. Very over-manipulated.
