Here’s what the winemaker says:  “Our Cabernet Sauvignon is rich with black cherry and blackberry flavors, firm tannins and a hint of mocha..”  The black cherry and blackberry flavors are there, the mocha a little tough to detect.  The tannins are not overbearing, an easy Cabernet wine to drink.

Wine Spectator rated it at 86 points and other ratings I saw around the internet were close in this vicinity.  I agree with this rating.  Its a solid choice that isn’t the best I’ve had but worthy of purchasing again especially at its price point.
