Some good things going on here. It's fairly ripe, but not plummy, and retains just a hint of Cab's herbal side. The acidity is still sticking out, very tart, and just not very harmonious. Overall, the wine doesn't seem very integrated, but what can you expect from a sub $20 Cab?

I continue to be impressed with this wine from a QPR perspective. Not spoofed but good depth, a little herbal Cab character, a bit savory, tart acidity. Not completely harmonious and in balance, but generally good overall. Ben Glaetzer is listed on the bottle as the winemaker.

Screwcap. Lots of fruit, but not at all over the top. A little vanilla but not overpowering and no woody notes. Acidity not really integrated. Plenty of varietally correct Cab, with a hint of herbal that I found appealing. A bit muddled and imprecise, but not a bad drink at all, especially for $10.

Really enjoyed this with Chicken Cordon Bleu and rice. A really attractive easy drinking Cab at less than $10 USD!

Consistent with the last bottles (gotta love the screwcap). Ripe and tasty. Again, the un-integrated tart acidity throws this a bit out of balance.
