All of the excitement in this wine is in the nose and the anitial attack on the palate. I notice aromas of cassis, tons of black licorice and milk chocolate. From the first sip, black and blue fruit favors are intense but one dimensional. There is not much happening mid-palate and the finish is short. All of that being said, I think this is a pretty good value at $10 given that it has pleasing aromas, and good weight and mouth-feel. Would recommend for someone seeking a jammy, fruit-driven Cabernet at this price point.

Disappointing. Bland with a subtle wet dog finish. Did not improve after breathing.
