Sweeter than I like, especially for a Cab. Decent pairing with a salty dinner.

Meh. Some "wine flavor" was added to this one. Still OK but just too artificial.

Likeable. Nothing bad to say. It's a typical California Cabernet in this price range. nothing more. nothing less.

Always enjoy friends sharing a bottle and this was a good “share”. Yes, it is a CA only but still had some expressive spice and dark berry. And liked the fact that the alcohol was slightly lower.

Much more sweet fruit than I prefer in my cabs, but for the price (under $10), I had low expectations which this wine met - barely.

For the price it’s not horrible. A lot more sweet fruit flavor than I prefer in my cabs, but what do you expect for this price (under $10)?
