Semi-opaque and unusually dark in color for a mass-produced CA Cabernet. Doesn't offer much on the nose - just a trace of dark berries and some faint notes of spice and chocolate. Medium-bodied and a bit thin, but quite fruity. Shows decent depth and the black cherry and dark currant flavors are quite pleasant. A little grapey and sweet on the mid-palate - but finishes with very good length, amid lingering hints of vanilla, spice and oak. Surprisingly long and complex. Much better than I expected after paying only $5.99 for a 1.5 litre magnum on a close-out. 50+5+11+14+6=86

Good Wine! Soft and rich with flavors of black cherry, spice and a hint of vanilla. Cheers!

Really nice wine not so sweet, not dry. Although pink in color. But have to admit that it was good
