This wine is NOT good. I have to wonder wether the others that have scored this wine here have actually enjoyed truly good Cab. This is, again, NOT good cab. There are good things about it, don't get me wrong. The nose is interesting enough - black licorice and pine needles. The mouth feel is rich, and, combined with the tannins one might be tricked into thinking that this wine was passable. But, sadly, the finish is so god awful, so terribly fake, that this wine falls flat on its face. This is just faked up, over sugared, god awful juice. The wine finishes like drinking a packet of Equal - that is how fake this wine is. As a group we laughed this wine out of the room and collectively dumped our glasses. At thirty dollars a bottle it is absolute thievery. There is plenty of good Cab out there at this price point - this just isn't one of those Cabs. Cheers.

I didn't find the finish as offensive as the last reviewer...but close.
