Cassis and dark fruit. Slatey and dry. Solid but not exciting.

Very fruity for a Cab. Gets better as you get used to it, and drinks like a Syrah almost. Very good for the price-point

My go to wine. Duckhorn without the premium. Massive fruit, but very finely balanced. All that makes Sonoma great, and a great value as well.
