Red Wine of Value
"This is one terrific value. A wine of this character and flavor is rare at this price point. While this is clearly not an American Cabernet, it shares a boldness in flavor with a very good Cab. It also has the elegance of a Left Bank Bordeaux. This is definitely a wine to try and enjoy the flavors and enjoy its harmony with food."
