"Big fruit-forward flavors sure to please. Our hearty cabernet is dark and intense - it's long on fruit and short on attitude."

My opinion: The nose is dry and smoky, which would make you think it was aged in oak barrels for a little while, but this is certainly not the case with the price. The body is extremely heavy and this is a very bland, dry wine. The bitterness dries the tongue out. This wine was not even worth the small price, and it's proof that awards from critics have nothing to do with individual palettes.
