Dark ruby core with a garnet rim. The nose offers ripe black cherries, blackberries, spices and licorice. On the palate freshly-picked succulent cherries and a hint of cocoa powder. Medium plus acid, medium bodied, sticky tannins and the finale has good persistence. A simple fruit driven Cabernet with nothing sticking out. Lacking some of the varietal character of more expensive Cabs but at $13, that's a small quibble.

Leather, earthy and vegetable smell on nose. Rich and powerful dark cherry flavor. The structure and texture were simple. Good alcoholic backbone of body. Tannin was very long lasting in the mouth. Some dark cherry-like aftertaste. One of my top picks around US$10. No complain.
