Color - Dark red
Nose - Blackberry, Cherry, Licorice
Taste - On the first sip this wine is sweeter than I expected it to be, though not cloying. Very smooth, not complex at all. Unfortunately this wine only hits on the tip of the tongue then just slightly in the mid palate, then it fades. There are both sweet fruit hints, blackberry for sure with some cherry. Smooth very light tannins for a Cabernet Sauvignon especially on this young. There is a slight "wood" and tobacco flavor on the finish which is quite short in my opinion. Pleasant though something I'd only really drink paired with very mild foods, chocolates, or as a liquid appetizer. It can be very underwhelming and forgetful even when you're still drinking it.
Overall, it's a decent red if used as a generic table wine or the "go-to" for quickie get togethers. Not a wine to impress anyone. This wine is good enough to be consumed by itself, it's not complex at all, sweet for a Cab (in my opinion), really nothing special, but it still lingers in my mind as a decent cheap red that you can drink any time, any place.
