Jammy aroma & deep burgundy color w/ a fruit forward taste of red grape accented w/ cassis, raspberry a hint of toast & leather w/ black pepper on the finish. Soft but noticeable tannins (more so than Central Coast Cabernets near this price). It's a good value & better than any $10 - $12 Cabernet I know of! We all liked it better than their (higher priced & better reviewed) Meritage. S1092
