Let's be honest here. Is this a great wine? No. But is it a solid daily drinker that you can pick up for $19? Oh hell yes. Buy a few. Pop them on a lonely Tuesday and you'll be pleased

Plummy black fruit, with a shade of graphite. no overt oak. Flaccid tannins.

Good everyday drinking. Seems confused and not focused. But hey, for $19 bucks...I'm in!

Thick and velvety, full of rich coffee and caramel flavors, this wine is a decent value but not a superlative one.

100% French Oak. More feminine in style, this one is a throwback.

Not as great as past vintages but still smooth and rich after aerating.

Smooth, easy drinking Cab. Earthy & almost savory. Very nice with sharp cheese.
