    By itself I find this lacking, alcohol on the nose. tart fruit at first, then but a nice chocolate finish. unfortunately finishes too quickly. This wine, I imagine would go much better with food, probably steak, but not filet mignon. Perhaps grilled t-bone or new York. An upper-middle steak for a decent middle of the road wine. good value for it's price. we had this at a dinner and tasting at Turkey Red in Palmer and seemed so much mire delightful paired with their delcious foods.

    hmmmm better than I thought it'd be, berries on the nose, the immediate reaction on the palate is delicious, the tannins are there but this doesn't taste like a cab to me as soon as I taste it. it is from chile and most cabs I've had are from California, the only complaint I have is the taste is not everlasting, the finish is too short, but great buy for $12

    easy to drink. sweet and strong red with heavy afterflavor. (good fruit flavor left on palat.
