I really didn't know what to expect but bought this bottle at a local store for $14.99. It has a nice violet/light plum color. Not much nose but pleasant. Some light tannins exist with a slightly dry finish. The overall mouth feel is consistent and smooth. Some dark berries, light fruit, and light spice on the pallet. For an 88 score I really enjoyed this little wine. Nice work Blackburn Wines. I'll buy a case to keep for company. I would not be ashamed to give this to novice/intermediate wine drinkers.

Fruit, no real tannins. Lost with cheese and steak. Fine on it's own.

Rich ripe fruit. Not really overdone, but it also doesn't really taste like cab. I'm not going to complain based on the cost.
