Bold and juicy, a full-bodied Cab. with abundant berry and plum flavors. At $8 bucks it's a wonderful choice for a mid-week dinner. www.winex.com and www.hitimewine.net

Dark inky in color with a purplish rim.

Vegetables On the nose with cherries, blackberries, bell pepper, licorice, metals, wood and black pepper.

Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, cherries, strawberries, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, green olives, ginger and peppercorn.

Tart finish, with bitter tannins and black pepper.

A nice South African Cabernet. Still young, yet drinkable, at a good price.

Absolutely wretched. Sweet and no depth. The worst bottle I have bought in some time.
