Great blend of berries, dark spice & pepper. Very affordable too.

Mehhhhhh....expected much more but just did not get it. The Syrah came thru more than the Cab. Basic fruit with no back bone.

Very acceptable Cabernet Syrah - easily as good as a mid-level Aussie (a compliment IMO!)

At $10 this is about as good as it gets. Distinctively Washington, with plenty of rich, ripe fruit, coffee, dark chocolate, and creamy oak, along with plenty of structure.

Great bargain here with this Cab/Syrah blend from Columbia Valley, WA. A nice backbone of sweet black cherry, tobacco, and cassis. Good structure with some tannin on the finish, still very easy drinker

Great red blend 🙌🙌 strong but not aggressive. Great with roasted veggies. Not too heavy with the Syrah and the normal spice, slick style of cab. I see you Washington

Good fruit, moderately extracted, delivers a simple but enjoyable partner for beef.
