Run of the mill Cab. Not bad, mind you, but didn't leave an impression.

No. Just no. Grapey... and not in a good way. Too fruity, zero tannin action. Did NOT seem like a cab. :(

$8 TW VERY nice for the price. Flavorful and smooth with cherry taste.

Very grapey. No tannins. Not horrible, but wouldn’t buy again.
