Would barley think this was Cabernet. The wine at this point, had medium intensity, but the fruit was muddled, and flavor undefined. Herbal, with tea leaf, slight mushroom flavors with red fruits. Just undefined and not very interesting. Was better with food for its mouth feel. May be in a dark period of its aging, but I'm not betting on it. It should be noted that for a commercial large release wine, it threw a pretty large sediment.

Good costco buy. deep purple all the way to edge. Pipe tobacco, leather, moccha in aroma. Flavor heavy blackberry & jam. Black pepper/spicy. Long pleasant finish, tannin over acidity. Definitely benefits from aging. If I get more I'll age a couple more years.
