The wine is ready now and the nose is open from the start. We decanted but no need really. Open nose of light spice, dark fruits light leather. Really nice nose and probably the peak of the wine. No oak here and we would struggle to place is as a Californian. On the palate however it is light, lacks depth of flavour and is very short on the finish. Good wine, nice to enjoy now, well round and silky. 89-90

- It's somewhat balanced with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a medium finish - This wine was awesome tonight, one of the best bottles I've had in awhile for 8.00 glad I picked this one up a few years ago wish I had 2 more. Excellent body and flavor very fruit forward with a nice smooth long finish. This wine is defiantly drinkable now and I would even say you could decant it to bring more flavor and remove some sediment.

Not bad, outrageous restaurant price, tasted okay but probably affected by the poor stems, certainly better than the Monte Xanic Cab we had the night before, these Mexican resorts really need to step up their wine knowledge and selection - Dark, medium/full bodied with a nose of plum, cherry, blackfruit and vanilla, simple, balanced, fruit forward, sweet/smooth on the palate with a short finish (79 Points).

First impression is a clean but very fruity wine, but has some lingering harsh notes . . . with each sip, I like it less. maybe too young? maybe just mediocre

It was the third, or fourth, bottle of the night and we could still tell that it's awful. The acidic burn on the finish destroys and desire to continue drinking it. I poured out most of my glass, and half of the bottle.

Still going strong, a hint of pepper, great dark fruits in the taste. Glad we still have another bottle.

Very good cabernet for the price. Smooth enough to drink on its own but also delicious with the pizza we ordered for dinner.

Not much out of the bottle, but actually had some character on day 2. Certainly leave in glass for good 30min before drinking.

This wine I thought was GREAT for $8! Nice fruity smell and mellow taste to start with a nice finish.
