Extremely young, hard, and very fruit forward. Not a lot of complexity with predominate flavors of red and stone fruits. What it lacks in richness it makes up in smooth tannins that makes this quite quaffable and easy to drink.

As a next to broke graduate student, I'm all about finding value wines, so I was pretty stoked when I tried this one. Floral nose with vegetal notes of crisp bell pepper. Sour cherry on the palette with vegetal and herbaceous characteristics and firm tannins. My only complaint is an ever so slightly bitter mid palette and finish. Overall a really nice find for a cab at $12

Young, fruity and light cabernet that won't wow anyone but will be entirely drunk in one night. It's quaffable, smooth and pleasant... just not a great wine.

Spice and smoke, but smooth finish. Not my favorite but was nice with food.
