Wow! This is a VERY sweet wine! Cherry, cherry, cherry. No structure at all; flabby and overly-sweet. Not recommended. However, at the price ($4.99), I guess you get what you pay for.

I bought the wine because it was so cheap wanting to try as many wines as possible and I LOVE LOVE LOVE finding a cheap wine that I actually like and that is decent on the nose and taste.
However, with that being said, this is not the case. This is not a typical California cab. On the nose, I found it to be very fruity, which, occasionally I enjoy, cherries were definitely present. On the taste I found it to be initially way to sweet and finishes way too sweet. Slightly on the acidic side which leaves it unbalanced.
The only time I would buy this wine again is if I were to supply my friends (whom do not like nor understand wine), with a red that they would potentially enjoy.

Light clear violet colour. Initial scent of grape juice, with nuances of blackcurrant & bright red cherries. Strong sweetness on the initial, light bodied, lacks character without much transition. Sickly sweet finish. A wine meant for cocktail parties or juvenile wine drinkers.

Extremely sweet. Tastes a bit like cherry juice. My Muscadine loving wife thought it was great.
