Starting to turn, but still plenty drinkable. A decent cab for the price, hints of blackberry and cranberry, a little bitterness on the back.

Afraid it had gone bad but still was good. Nice cab, merlot, syrah blend. Smooth, not heavy. No bite.

This is Washington state's Red table wine. Great to pop and pur, and goes with a wide veriety of foods. I like the cranberry notes, as the tartness adds life to a otherwise light mid-palate. Short finish, but for $10 bones this is hard to beat in the cellar.

Sort of beige - not offensive, but not a standout. Light, pleasant

When I first opened it I thought it was past drinkability. I had saved this last bottle a long time. After 20 min or so it opened up nicely and surprised me. I wouldn't hold them much longer if you have any.

I'd say this ia a "Good" wine, just shy of a "very good" wine. For $10, it's hard to be beat as an everyday wine. It's pretty smooth, lots of fruit bursting at the seams. Not to be a negative, but it reminds me of some of the better box wine that I've tried actually, though a slight step above them. I'm not sure this is the answer to the "best everyday wine I can find" quest that I'm on, …

Consistent with previous. Decent daily drinker.

Medium dark color, lots of fruit upfront. Low tannin, quick simple finish. It's a decent daily wine but will likely not hold up long. Certainly zero faults and it does have some body. For the price it's pretty decent.

Just earthy and grapey. This is about as average as it gets. Tasted at a work event - Surprise! It's another cheap wine. Gee, Thanks.

My wife received this wine as part of a comapny, holiday wine swap. This is a really nice cheap, table wine from Washington. It definitely skews towards the fruitier end of things and is light on tannins. At the price, it's worth stocking up on a few bottles. This is one of those "Chinese Food Wines" as it would pair with pretty much anything.

Nose of blackberries and menthol. Nice flavor and smooth tannins. Light and finishes easy. Very comparable to 14 Hands Cab.

Purple with cherry flavors, but decidedly sour on the finish. Bad by the second day.

Fruity and maybe a touch of sweetness; also some rough, earthy tastes.

Another disappointing bottle. If it wasn't for the funky, musty taste it would probably be okay. The first bottle was, but the others have been a disappointment.

Deep purple. Some traces of merde on opening blew off after a short time, letting the dark fruit dominate. On the palete this was light-bodied, thin and simple; but put on some weight overnight to lift it a couple of points above "below average". Short finish. Mild acidity, with good balance and soft tannins. Throwing plenty of sediment. Average at best.

Deep purple color, rich fruit and soft tannins. If it were a couple bucks cheaper, we would consider it for our everyday wine.

I want to like this wine more -- I like the maker and the price, but bottles have been pretty inconsistent. Some bottles have been simple and fruity, others seem to show some brett (i.e. musty, horsey nose). This bottle has a bit of brett but not so much as to offend me. In fact, I like it better than the last "simple & fruity" bottle I had. No recent bottles have been nearly as good as a 2003 bottle …

For $9 I really couldn't have expected much more, but I was hopeful. This is a drinkable wine with no rough edges. Decent balance, light bodied, limited mid-palate, and shortish finish. As this isn't heavily oaked this would be a good cooking wine.

These bottles just keep disappointing. Either they are all tainted or they just suck. Used for cooking.
