Definite red cherry flavors at the outset is somewhat of a surprise but then fills the mouth with deeper cassis flavors and settles nicely. Not a lot of structure - tannins quite soft but all in all a nice, drinkable cab.

- It's somewhat balanced - A very simple, fruit forward wine. It has a medium body with relatively deep dark fruit. There's a freshness from the acidity, but there was barely any tannic backbone...not necessarily a bad thing because it was an easy drinker and went reasonably well with chili. Certainly not a bad wine for the price.

- Crimsom color with medium forming legs - Great wine for the price. A bit tart when opened but give it an hour or two and this wine is an easy drinker.

Not ready to drink. Color deep bright red. Fruitforward aroma. Flavor really popped out at first with a decent finish. As I drank with dinner seemed to lose some of the flavor and finish - not ready to stand up in flavor to a good steak, but give it a few years. Still was good though with good potential.

An excellent companion to your next burger, this wine has abundant black cherry aromas and flavors with a bit of pepper in the aftertaste. A smooth drinking Cabernet from Napa for under $20.

at $15, it's a good QPR. a bit fruit forward, but nice nose and balance. mid-length finish.

Nice mellow cab. Great to bear with steak or the short ribs.

Lots of cherry but the low to moderate tannins keep them in check. Nice wine for the price.

A full-bodied wine with rich tannins. A well-balanced everday wine - ready to
drink at a great value

Overly plump over extracted supermarket plonk. While its not bad, I wouldn't serve it in polite company.

Fruit forward, acidic, smooth, daily drinker. Not terribly complex but a good value at $15. Could see this getting a little better with time.

Cherry, herbal element, excellent acidity and moderate tannin. Excellent varietal character for $13.
