Very pretty wine. I put this in the fridge for several hours before drinking as I think chilled Pinot is more my preference. Very much enjoying it! — 8 days ago

Pretty standard, good $20 Argentina Cabernet. Nothing stands out for me but that doesn’t make it bad — a month ago

This was a good bottle- definitely benefits when opened for a bit. At the price point I would rather get the Villa Splendida though both are about 35 bucks — 15 days ago

I am not versed at all in this grape. It’s good don’t get me wrong- but it is not my style. I feel like this is a solid starting point. For the price I think great value. Bought for 14.99 (on sale) — 22 days ago
