Kind of an imposter... Blackberry jam and sage on the nose. A little vanilla extract, not real vanilla. Highly vegetal, too. Green pepper and herb clippings. Some tart cranberry juice. Low tannins, light mouth feel. No staying power. Meh.

This is Cab with some guts. Oil-dark in the glass and rustic on the nose, the aroma package is full of back-country bramble and black fruit. There's a savory note of tar that virtually leaps out at me. The palate shows plum and blackberry roughed up by a cedar and spice element in the same way one might break in a cap or a baseball glove. Cabernet Sauvignon is normally not my first choice, but it might be if they all tasted this good for the price.

Great wine for those parties where you don't know (or like) anyone and just need to be able to imbibe something quickly and easily.

Big vanilla new oak nose, blueberry and blackberry palate with smooth tannins, plum and blueberry notes on the finish, very reasonable for the price save for being too heavy on new oak.
