Nice. Light taste, not too deep, but very straight, clear, decent taste. A flavor of light berries, a tone of wood♿ but all very light and intwgrated into the total experience ... I likw it very much.

Definitely higher on the acid, but a nice fruit flavor. Opened up with a little time. Week day wine...87-88

Dark violet/garnet colour with a rich nose of silky blackberries and vanilla. Heavy plum with faint currant on the mid-palate, followed by some zesty/bright fruit before a lingering finish. Certainly a strong pairing for steak.

Has a rich, fruity nose. Fruit forward on the palate. Mild tannins for a young cab, but moderate to heavy acid. Spicy, delightful and lingering finish without the bitterness one might expect with cabs at this price point. This is an amazing value for the price.

Definitely some South African dusty/smokey tones, but that makes it a bit out of the cab norm. No negatives if you like loud reds. Awesome value for $7.

Really good for $10. Lots of fruit and spice layers. Soft tannins and good structure. The alcohol is noticeable and I like that
