12 Gauge Cab Cabernet Sauvignon

My memory is kind of faded on this one, but I think it was just OK. Not sure if I'd buy again. HATE the label

For such an economical cab, this is actually quite good. Nice blend of spices and dark fruit on the nose, and on the palette it's like biting into a milk chocolate bar. I agree though with one of the other reviewers who said, "Hate the label." Marketing matters, and what the label says to me is, "Bad, cheap, shoddy wine," and this isn't. I might recommend to the winery that it could be worth it to hire the talents of a good graphic designer to come up with something better.

Very smooth, but not much on an impression. Happy to have tried it.

Chocolatey and earthy aroma. Light to medium body with a touch of acid. Better than I remember. Not a go to wine but worth exploring as economical yet decent event/party wine in bulk.
