Deep ruby red medium to full bodied wine. Ripe fruits with slight oak, well balanced and smooth, with a medium finish. Went well with my chicken meal! Overall solid wine and would buy again! Great value!

The Stuff: 100% reserve block Cab; 18 months in new and old French oak; 14.2% ABV The Swirl: Dark plum with hints of aged rusty brown toward the edges The Sniff: Mellow aromas of sweet blackberry and a whiff of vanilla and cocoa The Sip: Mild front end with a wash of chocolate and berry; back end of bitter cassis and pepper spice. Slightly off balanced in flavor The Score: At $12ish can score this a solid 3 and makes the re-buy list. Paired well with our hearty beef stew.

Wow I didn't know a wine could taste this poorly. Used it for cooking after tasting and that was a bad idea too.
