Unimpressive from the start. Violet color. Nose is muted, though I can detect some strawberry and other weak fruit aromas. Flavors of plum and prune, but these are quickly overtaken by acidity and tannin. Wine is out of balance.

This was part of my new approach to buying a random $8 wine that I know nothing about. Derek loved this wine, I did not taste enough to give a score. Looks like I'll have to buy it again.

Subtle nose. Lighter than most California cabs. Dry, a little flat. Slghtly tannic, could probably age a bit but not too long. A pleasant wine for the money.

Hot sewer nose, but after that blows off it shows some tarry fruit with a bit of woodiness.
