Strong sweet black licorice smell. I don't like licorice but this smells great. Has a nice bite with smoky overtones. Pretty smooth and has a nice tart blueberry finish with a mix of cherry. It kind of has a slight merlot feel but has more body than a merlot. I'm not convinced on it yet since it was a $30 bottle of wine. There is a lot of other wines out there that are better for the price — 9 years ago

6.1

Very strong in plum. It smells like plum tastes like plum just too much plum. The smell is overwhelming almost like a rancid plum. The taste has a very strong cinnamon plum flavor with an aftertaste of dry oak. I let it aerate for an hour and the taste was still bad. Definitely not for me, it's dry full of flavor but not the flavors you would associate with a Cab. Also, the color of the wine is interesting very dark purple and dense looking. Will not buy again! — 9 years ago

You're comment is priceless...slightly better than mine, but since you don't know Justin, it's not as funny for you. But this wine is terrible.

Wonderful fruity with a slight oak flavor but with a smooth caramel aftertaste. Tannins are flavorful but not to strong like others. Very smooth, I highly recommend — 9 years ago

It's okay. Not bad or good just enough to quench the rosé thirst. Pretty smooth and floral taste. Has a very sweet smell like a moscato but not sweet at all. Tart aftertaste with a hint of... The best I could describe it is tequila?!! Lol not bad for $9 but there is better out there. Definitely tastes like a blend — 9 years ago

It was okay, a little bland but still had the rich oak and dark cherry flavors. Not bad for a $10 bottle but definitely tastes better than other $10 bottle wines out there. Great for on the budget but is sensitive to strong flavors — 9 years ago

7.5

It's alright for a $10 bottle of wine nothing crazy but it's better than most out there. Smells tart and has a slight bite but smooth for the most part. I taste a hint of black cherry and plum but not as full bodied as a normal cab. Has a tart but caramelly aftertaste (is there such thing?) but sir far for your average cheap bottle? Not bad at all — 9 years ago

6.8

Sour like a Sangiovese but rich in plums and oak like a cab. It's good very smooth and rich initially but oh so tart aftertaste. Lots of plum, dark cherry, and smoky oak. I definitely have to snack on some pretzels or something because of the tartness of the wine. Wiens is great but this is def a least favorite. Still good yet they have better options for $38. — 9 years ago

7.8

It's pretty good for $8. Has strong tannins, plum smell and is pretty fruity. The flavor is smooth almost like drinking a merlot? But still is pretty goo. The best way I can describe it is it smells like a Pinot but tastes like an extra full bodied merlot. I think it's great for the price. — 9 years ago

7.3

Not bad. Has an oaky smell with hints of pear. Finishes with a lemon tart flavor. A little too acidic for me. Definitely doesn't have a "butter" finish. Pretty disappointed with this Chardonnay. There are better Chardonnays out there that are prob better and less than $18. — 9 years ago
