Medium bodied, modern style. Milky fruity nose, vanilla. Same again in the palate, with some rich prune. Long warm finish, with mocha riding it on out.
Easy pleaser, it's in the summer blockbuster category of wines... Pay a few bucks, suspend disbelief, enjoy the show, and forget it existed by the next morning.

The fruit in this wine is delicious. It's a fairly simple drink and it kind of flattens out after airing, but it's a nice table wine, especially for the price. It reminds me of why I love Cabernet Sauvignon. Such a great taste.
I agree with those who say this is more of a floral, almost Pinot Noir-like experience. So, it will go well with hearty foods, but I would not be afraid of drinking it with even turkey, or a soup.

Thin, bright berries, quick finish. Not much to recommend this as a Cab, per se. To me, the food pairing taste profile of this wine, this vintage, is more pinot-like which is 1 reason I bought this. This gave me a reliable every day food friendly value.

A nice weeknight Cab. Pleasing floral nose. Blackberry, vanilla and pencil shaving. Tannins never quite softened, even with time. But otherwise well-balanced.

Great find at $6.99 on sale. Elsewhere $10.
Ample fruit here. Especially blackberry, dark cherry and plum. Black currant. Oaky vanilla. Medium-plus tannins and medium acidity. Dry finish.
Overall a solid weekday table wine.
