Color: Dark plum / ruby
Aroma: Aromatic with blueberry, ripe plums, and tobacco coming through. And hits of cooking spices.
Body: Medium-Full.
Tannins were high and hard on first opening, but rounded out after a little bit of air time.
Balance was good and flavor was great
Finish was a medium finish that lasted about 4-5 sec.
Style is in the modern style as you would expect from a California Cab.

I would put this in the everyday drinker category. $14.99 from Costco was a great purchase.
Color: Medium red to garnet
Aroma: Moderate, with black current, leather, black fig and under ripe plum.
Body: medium with dry finish and medium tannins. Moderate flavor intensity.
Flavors: blackberry, black tea, strawberry.
Finish is medium before fading away.
I would tend to drink this now as to putting down.

Alcohol % 14.60, did feel any heat coming from the 14.6. Nice balance.

Vary pale yellow straw appearance. Nose had citrus fruit of melon and grass. Taste was a light medium body with not much on the finish. I would drink it again if given to me.

Not much more I can say about this wine that "Vinnut" didn't say in his review.

I too felt the spriz at the beginning. The only thing I would say the the lingering after taste is almost better then the beginning of the sip.

For the price I will be picking up some more to have on hand to drink.

Bright and refreshing. Lemon with some green apple with the typical Gewürztraminer spice. Would pair well with a spicy rice dish.

Enjoyed this wine last night. Has hints of plum, black current and cedar on the nose. A medium body wine with balanced acidity and tannins that will let this rest for awhile. Had a nice start and finish, but not much of a mid range. For the price it might be worth picking some up and keeping them for a few years. Will enjoy a revisit of this bottle.

Nice color. Medium to slow legs. 14.5% ABV.
Nose has cranberry, and overripe plums and strawberry.
Good flavor but ends a little funny.

Had a bite of the kids frozen pizza and it really seemed to open up the wine (LOL).

Have a few more bottles. Would like to try again with roasted pork

Thin wine. Not at all complex. Has some fruit at start but fades fast. Agree with a comment above that it would be better chilled a bit. Not a sit by the fireplace wine but maybe a nice summer red out on the porch. At the price I would try it again, why not?

Blackberry and plum on the nose. A little bit of pepper and spice on the taste with a dry finish.
Will let sit for about an hour and revisit. For now I would have to say good for the price and would pair with some BBQ ribs

It was ok, clean and crisp but not complex. Ok to serve as a general rose wine at a party. I would have to say it was worth the price.
The wine looks pink colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry. The body is light. The wine has bright texture. The wine finishes short.
