About the Wine: I first came across the Grayson label at wine seminar where their Cabernet Sauvignon was featured as an example of a dry, red steak wine. That wine is remarkable for its price and one can hope that the whole line is equally good but I've been in the business too long to get my hopes up.
About THIS Wine: The center is blood red with a pink rim. The color promises a bold and fairly tannic wine. Blueberry, black cherry, and something lose to but not quite oregano are prominent on the nose. The palate has a thick, mouth coating feel. Dark fruit and oak are prominent. The wine is very dry, but the dryness does not overpower the other elements as it does in some other wines. The finish is spicy, tannic, and dry.
Drinking This Wine: I don't usually recommend anything this heavy or dry as a sipping wine, but the elements are well enough balanced to make an exception here. This is also a good steak or burger wine. Basically, it gives me a primal urge to eat juicy meat.
Overall Impression: This wine is good and it is also cheap. It is good for the price.
