About the Wine: I do not find the name or the label very encouraging, but the sheer number of Cabernets on the market make it necessary for lesser known brands to find a way to stand out. An over the top name and label are not great sign, but they do not automatically mean the wine is bad.
About THIS Wine: The center is dark purple with a violet rim. Cassis, black cherry, oak, and spice make up a heavy and complex nose. The palate is heavy with syrupy red fruit that blends into a very tannic finish.
Drinking This Wine: This is too tannic for a sipping wine. It would go well with filet mignon and other juicy meat dishes.
Overall Impression: Wines with this much body and character usually go for well over twenty dollars. This wine is a good value.
