Nice berry bouquet but ultimately disappointingly thin. Lighter bodied although the finish is smooth. Just unsatisfying for a Cab. Overpriced at $14.99 at Empire.

An acceptable wine for casual nights. Not for food or anything particularly classy.

Blackberry, pepper, sweet tannin finish. Simple but a Classic example of Cali Cab. 'Send me your finest portobello steak!'

Nose: black currants, blackberry, and hint of tobacco. Palate: a bit sweeter than I prefer but not chocolatey. Decent finish. Good wine for the price point.
