Very fruity at the pop, but it couldn’t stand up to the dominant oak after 30 minutes or so of air. There is a fair balance of acidity and tannins and I can see this actually improving quite a bit with another 3-5+ years sideways. It might be interesting to follow several of these over that time. Food also certainly helps it out at this point. 4+10+13+7= 84

A nice tasting wine but the finish was a little bitter. I would purchase this again to give it another evaluation. Purchased for $8. At that price a viable option for everyday wine.

tHis wine is a easy drinking red, but not really true to cabernet. It has some blackberry - cassis taste but is nothing great. No real flaws, at 12$ a bottle it is ok, not great value.
