  A very serviceable Cab, not great wine, but a cut above your typical bottom shelf plonk. Displays true Cabernet character, simple, no obvious flaws. The kind of wine I'd serve to guests I did not know very well.

  Good every day wine. Bought it for $8 and it was buy one get one free. A simple drinkable wine. Nothing mind-blowing, but an enjoyable bottle.

  13.5% alcohol; thin to medium foil, composite cork; medium to long legs, dark red/brown; opened for dinner, nose had a slight trace of rubber, or of air let out of a balloon, left in the fridge overnight, then vinturied and tasted at approximately 12 degrees C for dinner; nose had improved -- cherries, whiff of menthol; tasting revealed a full-bodied wine, imperfect balance of sour, bitter, sweet in that order of magnitude, notes of earth, minerals, short finish; the problem with this wine is like less than sterling real estate, but instead of LOCATION, it's GRAPES, and the ones chosen here were nowhere near what budget wine drinkers are hoping for; pair with cheese
