$21 at Kroger. Didn’t know what to expect, as Wagner wines can cross the line with slightly too much sweetness—really just off-dry. But this was perfectly balanced and delicious. No need for breathing. Maybe not a classic cab profile, but everyone at dinner enjoyed it and my wife wants another bottle. I’d be happy drinking this anytime.

It’s fine for what it is. Sweet, ripe fruit, preferable with food, though drinks well on its own. Very refined for such a high alcohol wine. Someone mentioned refermentation and that’s accurate.

Really enjoyed this. Well-balanced, good with food. Used a Rabbit aerator for the first pours. I’ll take it over Conundrum or Caymus.
