It is a dark purple wine, with a nose featuring ripe blackberries and cassis, vanilla, tar, cigar and clove. The palate is quite nice, with cherry, blueberry and raspberry flavors draped with a bit of oak spice and offering a silky set of tannins. I paired it with a rib eye and used it in my skillet mushrooms. The wife gave me a big thumbs up, so I know it worked.

Mediocre Cab, doesn’t belong with the RM brand. Had this at a tasting, pass and you should too.

I like it! Nice and big, doesn’t smack you in the face but has good, full flavor! I would become a cab sav drinker if they were all like this!

The moment you uncork this wine, it's aroma wants through the room. The nose is a touch juggy but not offensively so. The wine has very little intensity and the fruit does not announce itself. I don't know what you'd pair this with. OK with chips while playing board games.

Wouldn't call it my go-to. Too much fruit imo. I want more pepper and wood, leather. Still great for the price

It's a women's red. Not dry at all, surprisingly off-dry and soft and smooth. Not the typical cabernet . Flower, tropical fruits, spice. Strong flavours but its not too bold, the finish is a little short.

Cheap Cab. Bought on a budget and not worth the money. Decanting did help a lot.
