I typically prefer Cabs over other reds and am partial to Napa Valley 2016-2018. This is a nice every day wine, especially for the price. Fruit forward, slightly lighter than other Cabs in my usual range, but one I would buy again.

James Suckling rates this 90 points, I spent about $15 on it. Worth the $15, but even so, your $15 is best spent elsewhere. Suckling has once again grossly over rated wine.

Haven’t been drinking as much wine lately so not sure what a good rating is, but we both liked it to be sure

소고기랑 어울려! 진로마트고기는 완전별로. 처음에 향이 진해 브리딩을 해야할거같았으나 느끼한 소고기랑 먹으니깐 조합이 좋음. 시간이 지날수록 부드러워지고 좋아. 다크초콜릿향 코코아닢스!! *다크초콜릿향이 난다고 하면 보통 블랙커런트향이라고 함. 난 블랙커런트향을 모름

Seems to be improving. This bottle had better balance and some finesse.

Decent, straight forward south American wine. Structured. But not delicious.

Good Cabernet Sauvignon, nice balance, needs some breathing to remove some rough edges (as evidenced by the fact that it was significantly better the second day and good the third and fourth as well). The Gran Mascota is the higher end version of the regular "La Mascota" line, the 2016 vintage of the latter of which earned (somewhat dubiously) the distinction of being the "best red wine of the world" at the Vinalies 2018 wine Expo. It is indeed the …

Really liked this one, especially for the $13 I paid. Got some good hints of vanilla. Drank over two nights with BBQ chicken. Will buy again as a good mid week drinker.

03/17 not ready to drink. Not enough grape taste with bitter at the end.

The 90+ pro ratings are bs. But this is good. Very understated traditional old world earthy. Not overly ripe or extracted. Food wine. I like it for the 13 I paid on sale but would never buy at 20 reg price.
