White label Total Wine brand I believe. What they want you to buy - designed by an MBA somewhere in the beverage world. Nose of cedar and mint. Plum elements come out on the palate. Balance is OK. Some small earth elements mix with the plum fruit flavors. Problem is the finish. What finish? This is the second bottle I have had of tis with same overall thought - OK wine that has no back-end. QPR is low as comparisons will have a complete finish. Clearly more modern style, but really seems concocted in a lab as nose and start are out of place with the rest of the wine. Clearly someone wants the Bordeaux like start, but cannot afford all the pieces. Maybe some people like this agri-business product.

A pleasant Cabernet blend with ripe fruit and firm tannins.
