Same as previous bottle. Served blind at a wine dinner where people brought everything from single vineyard chardonnay to Selosse champagne. This was picked as a $20 red - the surprise on people's faces when I revealed it as an $8 cabernet!

Fantastic wine for the money, in fact fantastic wine out right! Very fruit forward style, fine tannins giving structure and medium bodied. It does what it does well (being an every day drinking wine which over delivers). Fell apart after a few hours but it's not meant to be a stayer. Just pop, pour and enjoy. I payed $7.99 for my bottle, can't argue with that!

A wine where the descriptors on the label nail it. Blackcurrant, blueberry, chocolate, herbs. Beautifully ripe and balanced. Nice spread of powdery tannin, long finish. Excellent. And $10! Amazing. 1/4 of the bottle spent the night in the fridge, certainly better on first night, though still a good 'un on the second. At the price, no surprise that it's a drink now proposition.

Holding up pretty well, lacking a bit of complexity and gravitas but a nice, well rounded cab with a bit of structure. Such awesome value.
