Lovely Sonoma Cab blend (with Syrah)! Definitely over-delivers for the $30 price point. Velvety, luscious mouthfeel. Perfect holiday gift!

Old vines. Dark purple and inky in color. Reminds me of dark fruit, specifically blackberries. Good structure and filled with flavor. Definite buy.

Initially the cassis is dominant on the nose as well as some light cigar box. However it does not follow through to the palate. As a light wine, it is a great representation of the 2004 vintage, despite the large crop; the lower end seemed to be below par. As it opens up the cabernet starts to dominate and becomes more balanced but it never really expresses the left bank. A very drinkable wine, great for the budget!

a beautiful blend of malbec, cabernet savignon, syrah and petite verdot. after decanting this deep violet wine opens with overwhelming aromas of blackberry, loganberry, raisins and distinct cedar. the Cab and petite verdot give it outstanding structure. the aroma carries over to taste, with chewy tannins and a good acidity. good finish. Great with meat or strong cheese.

very nice table wine. Somewhat sweet. Good with Italian food or alone.

It was a little tricky to find any background on this wine. (Google "Truth Wine" and see what kind of crazy results you get.) But if you're just going to drink this, I think you'll be happy, especially if you're having it with a nice steak. I learned this is a Cabernet Syrah blend, and upon first pour, it has all the makings of a steak wine - it's dark purple, opaque, plum colored rim, looks heavy. From the nose, I get strawberries and some earth, maybe tree bark? And a hint of black pepper. I have a sip and it's a light texture, not as heavy as I thought. That black pepper makes its presence felt, it's all over the roof of my mouth. Bit of a drying finish, but that pepper flavor is what stays. I have it with some steak and it works perfectly. That peppery earthiness is a perfect complement. I found this at my local wine shop for around $20 so this may be my go-to steak wine.
