This is just a mouth full of deliciousness!! A very smooth finish with notes of plum and vanilla. After a day of cleaning and shopping, this is a wonderful treat!

Got this fantastic wine as a BOGO from Publix. Very juicy and fruit-forward. Yes please.

This Cab was aged in Bourbon barrels. Loved the bottle!! Deep red in color, very smooth. Lots of fruit which I love. Am pairing with my homemade lasagna. Cheers!

Quite nice. Ripe fruit and soft tannins. Bit of mocha on the finish. A bit pricey but enjoyable.

After reading the other reviews here all I can figure out is that we got a bad bottle. I wanted this wine to have deep layers having aged in bourbon barrels. It had no depth but did have a bit of effervescence, which I wasn’t expecting. It was too sweet. We couldn’t even finish a glass apiece and poured it down the drain.

Good but definitely not the best bourbon aged cab I've had.
