This Cabernet has a lot going for it. At the top of the list of reasons to like it is the reasonable price, which belies the wine’s excellent quality. Far from tasting like a budget wine, this one has a rich, dark amethyst color, full cherry and blueberry flavors, with a dash of cedary oak flavors adding a subtle, spicy note to the blend. The wine is plump and juicy, and finishes with smooth tannins.
