Reasonably priced weekday wine. Palate delivers more intensity than what the subtle nose suggests. Smooth, pleasant simple wine. Not sure how it will age, but I am open to the possibility that it will improve, and I will try to keep a bottle or two for a few years.

Quite modern but cleanly made, with jammy cabernet dominated flavors with darker blue and black fruits underpinning it all. A bit much for my more old world palate but again, well made and no major flaws. Not the most complex but does carry itself well regardless. Good value.
I had half the bottle. Drunk over 3 nights. Vvv

Remarkably good for a $20 wine. Drew some out with CoraVin one night and PNP the 2nd night with a friend. No food shared which was ok with this wine. A smooth, easy drinker. Will buy again

A bit of VA on the nose detracts from the fruit and spices, but otherwise an inoffensive wine.
Medium (+) intensity aromas of green pepper, black berry, black cherry, cinnamon, cedar.
Medium (+) pronounced palate.
Full body, medium (+) acidity, high tannin, medium finish.
