Tightly wound, but opens up after an hour in bottle. Smoky bing cherry fruit, bright acidity, gravel on the finish. Dry tannins. Frankly, I can't think of a better $15 cabernet.

An amazing value, this $15 wine tastes like a $30 Napa Cab, with thick chewy tannins, dark chocolate and cherries, and a lingering coffee finish. Small production so get it while you can!

Not bad, but only a shadow of what Spring Mountain designated can should be...

Luscious, earthy and delicious. A steal for $18.

Smooth, great finish. Comparable to a good $20 dollar bottle easily.

Acidic and tannins in full effect. For the price, I plan to get another bottle and store for a bit and give it another go later on.

No way blind this gets picked as TJs+$15. Not lacking much for price and punching waaaay above weight. Plenty not bringing so much to the table at anywhere close to this price point. Stock up. Drink up.
