Dark Ruby with heavy spice nose masking fruit. On the palate some blackberry fruit peaks through the strong pepper spice flavors. Tannins are rustic and strong, doubtful they will soften this wine. Finish was off balance. Pass. Tasting Sample.

This wine was $7, and delicious. Smooth and refreshing with a dry finish.

The cheapest cab from California I've ever had so far. :) And very good, mild, fruity with a licorice and vanilla.

Doesn’t bite back of pallet. Good flavor. Not bitter. Low residue. Smooth.

Smooth, hint of black cherry. Can't taste espresso. Heather can a little

This is so smooth you could get through the bottle before you realised. I tasted recurrent and strawberries though none of those were noted on the label on the bottle,

This is pretty watered down, no real depth. Not sure this is really a Cabernet
