Dark Ruby in color with a purplish rim.

On the nose, vanilla, raisins, cherries, oak, earth, licorice, mint, dark chocolate, spices and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with nice legs and medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cola, vanilla, chocolates, oak, pencil led, blackberries, currants, cherries, licorice and peppercorn.

Long finish with firm tannins and pepper.

This is a great Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoyable by itself or with grilled steak. Drinking nicely now and Good in the next 2 years. Balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Had it blind, at first, and called a Sonoma Cabernet, so it is very typical.

14% alcohol by volume.

Smells cheap and plasticy. Couldn't drink. Will be passing off to my alcohol loving friends.

A good go to wine. The fruity notes are not overpowering and it has a smooth finish. Not as heavy as I expect from a cab which makes it very drinkable and a daily go to wine, along with the extremely reasonable price point
