This Cabernet was thin on body, low on tannins, and too sweet. It had an odd creaminess to it I found disappointing. Wimpy and sweet should not be Cabernet characteristics.

Tasted blind. The first word I wrote down when I tasted this was "cheap". Overall, though, it's really not a bad wine. Medium weight palate. The fruit is OK, the balance is OK. It's pretty generic, but it's perfectly drinkable.

Pretty good everyday wine, not too complex, a little sweet, smooth and color is good. Tannic is not round but the fruits and berries is inressistible. Will buy more.

Nothing special, but not bad for the price. Dark cherry, plum, with balanced oak. Tannins were smooth but a little bitter. Kind of hollow mouthfeel with a dry finish. Pretty forgettable, but I wouldn't turn it away if you were serving it to me at a party.

A nice looking, deep ruby color, 90% saturated with average legs. A bit of bramble at the pop but it settled into a creamy malo aroma with notes of plum and blackcurrant, butter cookie, oak and overall, a bit reticent. Very primary, with jammy fruit upfront and some vanilla infused tannins bringing up the finish. Not bad for the $, and I'll bet that it drinks better next summer. 5+9+14+7 = 85

We served this at a party we hosted, so no tasting notes were recorded. Let it be said that while no one raved the virtues of this wine, no one complained, got sick, or died either.

Donkerrood van kleur, geur van rijp donker fruit en toast. In de smaak rijpe pruimen en kersen, vanille, eikenhout en druivensuiker. Zachte afdronk. Mooie wijn, maar het overheersende zoet gaat op den duur tegen staan.

nose is a stained leather. Plum and sweet apple taste with some smoke on the swallow. Well balanced not to much alcohol. ready to drink today. Though I think that it could last for three or four years. I matched it with some whole wheat pasta with a meat sauce. Went really well actually.

Wasn't crazy about this wine, lack flavor, not much to say. Very hard to taste any fruits as well. It wasn't bad, but I've had better from this winery.

Oh dear me. This is just sugar and a dollop of fruit juice with a Mondavi label slapped on it. Very sugary, with caramel and little else on the nose. The palate is sweet, sickly, low in tannins - nasty, lingering after-taste. Horrible stuff - a disgrace to decent producers of Californian wine. Junk.

Not very bold for a California Cab. Tart plumb and vegetable aromas. Light pepper and prunes on the tongue. Weak finish.
Not much depth, but a solid drinker today.

Ordered by the glass. Nice earthy aroma that turned into sweet blackcurrant note. Quite balanced with moderate tannins. Good wine for the price.

Juicy. A bit like lemonade. It is full bodied and has soft tannin, but no complexity.

Vinho tipicamente americano.
Aromas frutados (frutas vermelhas), sente-se seu veludo!
Boca: sedoso (ou aveludado), tatinios leves, agradáveis, final ácido.
Agrada.
Idea para beber com mulher fresca!

Notes of plumb, blackberry, and Cassius, with something earthy on the finish. Nothing special, but not horrible either.

An OK table wine, slight aftertaste and a bit bitter. But goes down smooth. I like dry wine and this is anything but.
