Inky purple. Hmmm. Sophisticated. Mild oak, restrained berry, earthiness, spice. I like this wine a lot. It's got a bit of alcoholic fire, but that does nothing to diminish the fine structure. Well ballanced tannins to acids and very mild bitterness make the finish warm and fruity. Really good stuff.
Bottom line... A value <= $18 US

At about 9$ a bottle, this seemed a good buy. Bouquet shows some refinement Good cab qualities on the palate with tannins, a bit "hot". Drank well over several days after opening. Originally tasted at a charity event at TCF stadium (U of Minn) and was encouraged to buy a bottle to try. A decent candidate for an every day, budget red.
