Tasting Notes: Though the price for this budget Cab has gone up $1 over the past year, this is still a stinking good deal for what's in the bottle. Yes, it's a mass-produced wine from the New World with a pretty boring, easy-to-miss label, but, it's also made from grapes sourced from a single region and packed with intense, yet, never cooked, dark fruit flavours and plenty of spicy-smoky notes that add impressive complexity.
Residual sweetness is slightly scaled back from last year's vintage, a pleasant change. Fresh berry acidity and dusty tannins frame the moderate, well-balanced finish. Drink now-2019.
