Great under $20 Cabernet Sauvignon. Big cigar box nose. Moderate tannins, mild acidity and an enjoyable balance of very forward oak and classic Cab dark fruit. Spicy finish. Fabulous with red meat and rich sauces. Fantastic value!

Deep ruby color. Smells like raspberries and cigars. Medium tannin and a lingering cassis on the finish. Lovely wine. :) One of my favorites this week!

Cigar box and red fruits on the nose, the red fruits darken into bright cassis on the palate, and some mocha reveals itself as well. But, just when you're maxing out your revs and want to switch into another gear....you realize there's nothing to shift into.

A hit with the Super Bowl crowd. Balanced and hit all the right notes for me---especially at this price point.

Not bad. A bit heavy handed on the oak. Still tasty.

This wine delivers with balanced fruit and complimentary herbal characteristics that make it an appealing drink. Just enough tannin to give some structure. Soft mouthfeel and medium body and finish. Great weekday wine.
