I'm always looking for an inexpensive wine thats surprisingly good. This one was just ok, drinkable, light tannins, mostly plum notes. Dark reddish purple in color, 13.5% abv. I paid only $4.99 at a local grocer. Ive just lowered my wine rating for this wine, it gave me a head ache.The search goes on!

The 2014 is an 85-86 at best. When decanted or swirled it revivals that it is a decent table wine, smooth, good flavor but no outstanding great flavors of an outstanding cab sauvignon. It is by far not great but it isn't bad. .

If you ever come across a bottle of this - run far, far, away and as fast as you can.

Bold enough for beef, mild enough to pair with satay. Perplexingly varied. Do not run until you’ve snapped up any bottles you come across.

A decent every day sipper. Not offensive, but not outstanding. Safely played.

I love Cabs. I live for a great Cab. This is not a great Cab. It’s drinkable. But, I wouldn’t want another glass. Which is problematic when I have an entire bottle. Luckily I have other bottles I’m willing to open. I will say this would be great for cooking or creating a fruity iced beverage. Thus, it serves an important purpose.
