This wine is fine for what it is and what it costs. Perfectly drinkable -- not complex but tasty enough for a weeknight grilled cheese sandwich. We've paid more for wines we like less.

Not nearly as bad as the 78 rating and perhaps a little better than the 85 rating so far. It is nowhere near as good as the 2005 vintage which was a steal at $10 on WTSO a few years ago. I've had 3 bottles of the 2012. Yes, one was way too fruit forward, but not quite cough syrup; The other two were slightly too fruit forward but certainly drinkable and about what you'd expect at the $13 price point. It's not any worse than the Columbia Crest 2012 Grand Estates that WS somehow rated a 90, probably a bit better.

Not nearly as good as the Vita Luca it replaced.

Barely drinkable cabernet (wait did i say cabernet ?). I cannot tell you what this is if it wasn't for the label. Avoid

Hard to like this one. Immediate reaction is cough syrup. 'nuff said.
