A great example of a California cabernet with some age on it. Not a fruit forward example, but more mineraly and herbacious. The fruit is a muted dark cherry with hints of black berry. The tannins are very silky and not obtrusive at all. Let it breathe for a bit before drinking - it definitely had some funkiness on the nose when first opened.

Nice yet simple dark Cherry. Minimal tannis and not much at all on the finish. Tannin was so smooth that it almost wasn't present. Not a wine to brag about, but for the $7.50 that I paid for this one, I am very happy with the purchase. A nice wine to have around for the general populous - a true wine lover might be let down by it. Great value at my price.
