I like this #mendocino co. #cabernetsauvignon - waves of bramble berry on the nose but it’s not too jammy - tannins are pretty bold and a bit uncouth. There’s at least a touch of acidity to liven things up.

Absolutely love this wine. Very okay and taste very much like silver oak. Very bold, big complex wine with full finish.

Very delicious wine and a good value for the price. Somewhat tannic after initial pour, but it opens up nicely after a few minutes.

Copious notes of blackberry, cassis, mint, and dark chocolate on the palate. Firm, grippy tannins on the finish. Balanced and polished. Aromas of violets and stewed fruit. Oak is present but not overwhelming. Lots going on in this $15 bottle and an outstanding value considering a lot of inexpensive domestic Cabs are one-dimensional flabby fruitbombs from my experience. Had it with a meaty pizza. 20-minute decant. Purchased at Costco.

Nice. I'm not necessarily a Zin fan, but this is easy drinking. Opens up after a day of opening under vacuum
