Very smooth wine--full flavor and very enjoyable. Started with filet mignon and finished with a cigar--developed over the evening. Definitely a repeat buy

Very basic Cab. Decent for the money (under $10). Currant, vanilla, and earth on the nose. Not very complex. A bit high on the acids and tannins through the finish.

Sweet raspberry fruit jam with touches of leather and bubble gum. The nose is quite sweet but appealing for sure. The flavors come across not too much like a cab. The bubble gum flavors are there again with sweet blackberries. Little to no tannins present. For $7, you really cannot ask for too much. It is more of a cellar saver than anything. My recommendation is to step up to the normal Vina Santa Rita cab for a few bucks. It possesses more cab character. This one is more syrah (aussie, yellow tail) than Cab.
