The wine looks like a classic Cabernet, with deep ruby color and nice clarity. The nose presents lovely aromas of blackberry and cassis and a hint of green grass and tar over the top. The taste is actually quite nice for a young Cabernet, with a rush of ripe fruit up front, raspberries, black cherry and plum with a nice transition to some Asian spice and mineral notes of basalt and limestone midpalate. The tannins are young and vibrant, providing for a very smooth, long and bone dry finish.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 7.5, as it's still young but drinking very nicely. It was also a great bargain at just $10, which would make this an ideal, everyday wine that would pair well with grilled steaks, roasted meats and tacos! Yes, tonight I am celebrating taco Tuesday with some chorizo tacos with fresh salsa verde and this wine is a great match. Cheers!
