Was hoping a less fruity essence due to the oak comment on bottle back but love the packaging artwork.

It’s not a terribly complex wine, but it is drinkable, with firm tannins and a cassis flavor that carries it along through some mineral-laden meanderings. It may not be the Cabernet you’d choose go with a $50 steak, but you may get it at Starbucks and have a good time sipping it. Try something chocolate with it.

Decent, light, mid-priced. Less dry than we prefer, oakey.

Nice on a cold night, with steak, shrimp and grits. Fruity, tannins on the backend, rich ruby color, good wine, drinkable and will look for it again.
