Sipping Fine Wine

Deep red with berry fruit aromas and some oaky notes. On the palate ripe blackberry with cherry flavors, oak, pepper and some hints of sweet spice. Nice mouthfeel, ok balance, fine tannins, medium finish ending with soft oak. Drink now. Tasting Sample.

Decent. Not my favorite Coppola wine though. Not as smooth as their other cabs

Nice balance of dry and fruit. Not as amazing once I consider the price.

It’s ok. Not as flavorful as I like.

Strong and powerful just as the great ape himself would prefer - this is a Cab Sav that comes with an intense, dark and smoky mature red fruit punch, sand stays with a lingering powerful flavor. Sip more slowly then most!

I needed a monster to pair with the ultimate smoky BBQ. This Cab fit the bill.

Meh. I bought the bottle because of the King Kong graphic; fell for the stupid ad campaign! It was underwhelming and not my favorite Coppola wine. I'll stick to the cheaper claret.
