Easy-drinking wine at an okay value. People had been raving about this one but I thought it was just okay. Little nose, smooth tannins, some fruit but not to sweet (which was nice), but very little going on on the back end. Almost no finish and it felt a little like all the flavor and tannin presence was literally in the forward half of my mouth. Still it was a fine choice for a quiet Thursday.

Quite earthy on the nose, forest floor, damp wood, dark berries. Taste is of blackberry, cherry, and tobacco. Medium full texture, finishes a little quickly. Not bad for $9, but will seek out others before purchasing this again.

Pleasant, easy drinking Cab. Medium - full bodied, with some notes of tea leaves on the palate. Good value for money.

Rathe spicy finish. Best with beef.
