Dry red. Berries and spice to the nose follows through to plum, cheery and a little chocolate to taste. OK for the price.

Surprisingly good for the price! Rich, fruity nose gave way quickly to a full bodied flavor, robust with cherries, pomegranate, cranberry, and oak. Very thick; very dry.

Easy to drink, light finish for a red. Sweeter than expected but enjoyable

This is kind of bad. It's grossly dry, weirdly sweet, all around not good.

Great option for beginners that are seeking a "gateway" Cab. Note to self: keep in stock for guests afraid to move on from simpler reds to the slightly more complex.
