Not a particularly interesting wine but it’s perfectly fine. All fruit, little structure, with no off or unpleasant notes. Fair for the $28 paid at Costco.

Apparently made of declassified fruit but it is quite delicious and I would re-classify this haha. Warm and rich with notes of black fruits and toasted spice.

Poured and let sit 1 hr in glass. I had a bottle of this about a year ago and thought it was OK. This was not the same wine. Some heavy dark fruit on entry and maybe some earth and then it was all astringent/drying tannin with no fruit. Even after an hour, no real change. No discernible cabernet taste. I'll wait a day or two and try again, but right now not very pleasant to drink.

Enjoyed the 2014 a couple years back and saw this 2015 in a local shop this weekend and was glad to try it again. This wine punches above its price.
Medium dark purple. Nose has some sweetness to it and dark fruit, but ultimately upon third and fourth sniff it is a more earthy, dirt (not dirty) nose, than a fruit-focused one. Medium to full in body. Nice seamless texture. Black licorice, blackberry. Very nice presence in the mouth.
