Poured garnet-brown. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. First sip before aerating was fairly bitter and harsh. After 30 mins of breathing, fruit opened up nicely. Blueberries and currants, pepper with coffee and cedar on the backside. Not bad for the price and age.

This is a very good wine. A pure Cabernet nose, and pure, ripe Cabernet flavors including just a hint of cedar and sweet tobacco. Finishes smooth and soft, albeit on the short side. Lightly colored, and not powerful. Not tannic. It's remarkable how much better this wine is compared with Napa Cabs costing twice and three times as much.

Two Words: Excelent Value!... About $7.00 (was on sale, normal price tag is also good around $10-$12), this one is ready to drink right away but can hold for one or two years (at most), has a very interesting nose, chocolate, tobacco and a good amount of fruit. Has a soft palate with round tanins, good body and some oak, just the finish is a bit short... This one doesn't feel young at all and has interesting complexity for a wine on this price range, not superb, but not as crappy as most cabs at this price range... highly recommended to grab a case or two for everyday drinking, or as party wine...

dark fruit, spicy. pleasant finish, a little rough. Worth the money (~$8)!

Very enjoyable Argentinian cab. Yummy and pleasant. Not over powering like some Argentinian malbecs
