$18 Reg 25, nice flavor at that price. Went great with pizza. Took a chance since it was Alexander valley, since we like that area’s wine.

Really loved this one. Enjoyed it with pasta and meat sauce meal but I think would be even better with steak.

A sweet start with a tart finish. Notes of cherry with a hint of raspberry. A little bit of woodsy taste. Very identical to a Montes Alpha Cab Sav.

Delicious and smooth after it airs out for a little bit. Well-balanced— not too sweet or dry. Classic CA cabernet.

Over-oaked which did give an interesting spiciness but it was over the top. Better after breathing.
