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.

Great for the value. Has tons of cherry flavor and is pretty smooth. Is pretty tart but doesn't have a bite. Great with pasta! — 8 years ago
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 — 8 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 — 8 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 — 8 years ago
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 — 8 years ago
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. — 8 years ago
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. — 8 years ago
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. — 8 years ago

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 — 8 years ago
