Needed a drinkable dry red for a marinade, this was cheap and fit the bill. Didn’t realize it was produced in Israel until after I got home from the store - I know it was only 8$ but that’s still 8$ going to a government actively participating in genocide so I cannot in good faith recommend it.

Thin, no lasting taste. It was interesting in the same way a light beer is too a Guinness drinker. Colored water with a little flavor. Interestingly, it was not bad enough to dump down the drain.

Full and rich, right on the dot for a dry and affordable cab sav.

Nice and complex! Berries and cherries and mild finish. Surprisingly good.
