Overly sweet. Jammy artificial tasting fruit. Dry, unpleasant bitter finish, which is extremely short. High alcohol. Pretty much undrinkable.

Always a very solid bottle, especially for the price. Full-bodied and deep flavor. Dry. Pleasant finish.

A Hardy flavor. Heavy alcohol buzz. Strawberries and Blackberries notes. Nice for partying!

A solid weeknight Cab that was gifted to me, but I'd consider buying for myself. What it lacks in bouquet and aftertaste it makes up for in mouthfeel and richness.

When Bogle came out with The Juggernaut some years ago, it was delightfully bold; a jammy vanilla bomb. This, however, shares nothing more than a label with that former bottle. Here we have a mess of a wine. Still a cab, but don't tell me there's no zin in there. Or do, but I won't believe you. The vanilla used to compliment the wine. Now it blankets it in an attempt to mask a subpar product. If only it could …

Juicy dark fruit, oak, and pastry crust. Nice weight, decent balance, shows obvious sweetness but no jam. Wood spice on the finish. Not as engaging as the 2019 but tasty enough.

I liked this a little more than I thought I would- there is some sense of "manipulated wine" there for sure, but it seems to be done with a deft hand, as in the end there's some good honest dark fruit there and what feels like some actual oak in the background. There are even suggestions of actual Cab Sauv tones, with touches of earthy tobacco. Pretty good structure and acidity for a bottle like this, too. I think this …

I was surprised at how much I liked this wine, especially as it was not expensive. I've put on my 'get again' list. Everything was 'medium' about it: intensity of flavor, lingering, legs.

Fairly big, fruit forward wine. Smooth in the beginning, but the finish is a bit harsh. Good value.

72 It did have some fruit but once again, this is convoluted, disjointed no cohesion, no essence of terroir whatsoever. eEven California Cabernet’s have some essence of terroir this does not.

I loved juggernaut when it first came out, but 2020 was my first vintage I genuinely disliked. Extremely fruit forward, syrupy taste that plagues all of it's neighbors at the grocery store on the 3rd shelf up
