Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
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!

Jul 11th, 2015Not bad. A bit heavy handed on the oak. Still tasty.

Nov 12th, 2014This 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.
