The color is cherry red with purple highlights. The nose is black cherry, dusty cocoa powder, bit oak vanilla and cedar plank. This is a soft, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, it starts with rounded black cherry and blackberry, followed by a faint hit of chocolate and POM Wonderful. The mid palate adds strawberry and blueberries in milk. The tannins are soft and the acidity is muted. The finish starts off strong but loses steam quickly. Excellent Value !!
