Smooth and sultry. Cherry undertones and not too oaky. One of my favorites.

Not bad for being Gallo owned. A little thin for a Cali Cabernet. Not 92 points though wine spectator

Wine Spectator gave this bottle 92 points. BIG Cabernet, herbaceous & earthy. Dark fruits collide with rocky soil.

A delicious and large-bodied Cabernet, perfect as a cocktail wine, with the requisite dark cherry mocha flavors. Very good while falling short of superlative.

Dark fruit in the nose with dark cherries and black berries in the palate. Great alone or with hearty Italian food, even pizza
