Aromas and flavors of juicy plum, ripe strawberry, pie crusts, luxury tobacco, tapenade, and fine leather with a satiny, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, elegant, long finish with accents of clove. A juicy, decadent Cab-dominant blend that proves difficult not to love..... '2019 World Value Wine Challenge-Top 10 Red Wine $15 and Under'
