Floral, pineapple and canteloupe aromas dominated the nose. On the palate it was lush with good mouthfeel and fruity, though I would have preferred it with slightly less residual sugar or snappier acidity (I have a strong preference for dry wines). That being said, it is well-balanced overall and (I'm sure) widely appealing. As with many mass-produced budget-friendly wines these days, it is without flaws and enjoyable if not particularly complex.

Dark fruit, black currant, chocolate on the nose. Blackberry, black currant, some coffee and cocoa on the palate. A lighter style Cab, and though not particularly complex, it is enjoyable and an excellent value for $7.

Pale straw color. Perfumed aromas of rose, jasmine, white flowers and tropical fruit. Medium-bodied on the palate with floral and asian pear flavors and moderate acidity. Pleasant on its own or with spicy appetizers. A good value for $8.
