January 15, 2021 - Blackish blue in the glass that is somewhat murky. On the nose it’s delightful- blackberry pie, yeast, and iodine(strange, but believable). On the palate it has a unique flavor- blackberry meets charcoal. I can’t think of a better descriptor. There’s a vast cask influence here and I’m loving it, not over-oaked but the fundamentals are there. Vanilla, popcorn, coconut. It’s not over done, just a nice, deft use of it to give this wine a unique flavor. The mid palate continues the blackberry theme and the tannins creep up, barely noticeable until the finish and by then- dry gums! The whole package is mouth-filling, interesting, well structured and balanced. I like it, a lot. 91 points and 5 stars for this $19 wine. Drink till 2025.

May 13, 2020 - Agree with DAMAW6 on all points.
February 4, 2020 - A nose of dark fruits and some spices, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, blackberry, a great value. www.winelx.com
November 25, 2019 - I grabbed 6 of these during one of the sales. With my CH Wine Club discount, the cost is was just over $15. For that you get a decent Washington style Cabernet with nice chocolate and graphite underneath. It has a touch of pepper too. Not a huge mouth filling Cabernet by any stretch but it’s a very enjoyable “everyday” drinker. It has gotten better over the past six months; I have few left and look forward to drinking them.
November 1, 2019 - Nice finish and good nose. An easy to drink wine.
April 13, 2019 - Not as big as Napa cans. Smooth, drinkable now. Great value
July 28, 2018 - Good wine, a bit light , delicate, tinny for my taste- not full bodied enough. Very dry with light tannins. Drank better after several hours of decanting. Won't buy more given the price.
