Wow. This is delightful. Plums and spice, with a little black cherry providing a touch of subdued brightness. Not too imposing tannins dry it out a bit at the finish. In a good way. Man, for $40, I'm the furthest things from mad at this. — a year ago

Oak and sweetness. Bright fruits, pretty light body. A bit lighter than I'd expect from a cab, but not bad, especially considering it's rather warm today. — 4 years ago

Smooth with somewhat high acidity. Note to self: brush teeth afterwards, lest it eat your enamel. But the taste is worth it; cherries, darker fruit, a bit of vanilla... That'll do. Kind of reminds me of the underappreciated (in my opinion) Barbera. — 4 years ago

Happy Red Wine Day, kiddies. Woo. Plenty of tannin. Good fruit presence, some oak and vanilla. Lingers pretty darn long. Not as long as I've been away from Delectable, but pretty long. — 3 years ago

Mm. Sort of the slate Earth taste people talk about but I've never really experienced. But it's good. I like it a rather lot. — 4 years ago

Light and fruity. Both the red and dark fruit, giving it good balance. A bit of acidity lingers. — 4 years ago

Whoa. Deep dark fruit (cassis, black cherry, plum) with some chocolate and oak. That's awfully good. — 4 years ago

A little brighter than I usually like. Some red fruit, a little alcohol, some pepper. Not bad; I'll let it open a bit and drop the temp a couple degrees. That helped, but it's still a bit on the sharp side for me. — 3 years ago

Plums and tasty things. Not for the first time I wish I had a better palate. But on the flip side, it means I can enjoy cheap wine. So there's that. — 4 years ago
