Deep red colour, browning edges. Lots of glycerin. Nose w blackberry jam, smoked bacon, leather, eucalyptus/mint - more like a Shiraz than Cab! Tannins very rounded, acidity low, masses of sweet fruit. Aftertaste w alcohol (16%), spearmint (and fruit). A bit hard to judge - there is some quality, but what were they trying to achieve with this??

This has deep, opaque burgundy color. The nose had dark fruits, black raspberries and cherries. Bold flavors, not too fruity or spicy, some tannins and a bit of leather. This needs some time for the alcohol to blow off. Nice finish. Did not get to it on day 2, which was probably it's best day. Day 3 was still very good. This was a good cab, but not great. 20 bucks on sale.

color is deeb burgandy, nose very light with hints of raspberry. Upon opening this wine was very dry and immediatley tannic on the palate but calmed down nicely after about two hours. Served with steak, this wine was great...nice finish.

Not much to add from July -16. Almost opaque. A bit more oak on the nose. Fruit a little more dry. Still not very Cab-ish.

alcohol, wood, flat, smoky and toasted. faded fruit, burnt. This seems like it just burned out, but it was clearly not right.
