Oak bomb. Undrinkable the first few hours out of the bottle. Had some the following night & it was ok. The fruit was a little more noticeable but, overall, still way too oaky. 😕

Rhis is the Real Deal. Great wine. Smooth mellow cab with great flavors. You will want to buy this by the case as the price will go up once it's been rates
