Powdery and sweet smelling, with an acidic palate propelling pedestrian green apple, lime and orange flavors. Fruity but not very refined, with a tenuous balance that indicates that it should be drunk as soon as possible.

Melony and fleshy as most Central Valley SBs tend to be. There’s not much zap, crispness or life blood here, so catch it now for the minimal amount of lemon and green apple it’s giving. Finishes wet and round, with some mild bitterness.

Bright in color but that’s where the excitement ends. The nose has plum, cherry and nail polish aromas, while the palate is sour, sheer, overly acidic and tartaric to the max. Way too sour and sharp.

For an under-$10 Cab, this is good red wine. There’s a smooth nose based on classic aromas of cassis, blackberry and earth. It draws you in, and the palate is bright with flavors of currants, plum and cherry. With a touch of mint and coffee on the finish, it even gives a sense of style.

Plenty of oak off the bat, which is what deviates this wine from the brand’s standard $8 Cab. Frankly, we prefer the cheaper one; this is lemony and overcrowded with coffee and mocha characteristics. The flavors of cherry and wild raspberry are decent, but the balance is sketchy and the oak and acidity seem elevated for what it is.
