"Black Cherry and burnt toast, share aroma space with green bell pepper typical of inexpensive Cabernet Sauvignon. A little earthiness is nice. Not interesting but not awful.
On the palate, it’s juicy upfront but the flavor fades rapidly passing through a cocoa-inflected phase before stumbling to the finish, which tastes like sour cola. Medium body and without trying to be too lush, it has a little sweetness but the acidity is quite high preventing the wine from being cloying,. The tannins are soft"

Wine Folly Notes
As a Cabernet Sauvignon from California, the elements of currant and spices were obvious (p.88). I did not decant as I don't own one at this moment so I did not decant as suggested by WineFolly. I did not drink this wine with a meal.
My ReviewThis wine is a classic cheap wine. It got me drunk which was good. Very sweet and honestly one of the better Cabernet Sauvignon I've had. There was a decent layering of spices and decent tannin levels.
