Color - Purple with a violet rim
Nose - Blueberry, vanilla, grass
Taste - I get dry with lots of raspberry and cherry jam flavors. The tannins are nearly invisible but the wine doesn't taste like juice. It's not particularly warm and the alcohol is rather soft in this Cabernet Sauvignon. I rarely drink white wines so it's rather pleasant when I find a red that goes well with chicken, fish or white sauce pasta. This one does just that and more. The vanilla and berry hints compliment the creamy pasta wonderfully making the wine take on a pleasant, creamy texture and also brings out the bite and heat of the alcohol. The wine is still far from complex and very fruity for a Cab (in my opinion). It is closer to a Malbec or Tempranillo. It's still good and a decent wine for the price, but the Redwood Creek Malbec is a better wine at the same price.
Overall, get the Redwood Creek Malbec if you want to try this brand name, while this is a decent wine to keep around for daily drinking or for parties, there are better Cabernet Sauvignons at much lower prices (Vinos Chilenas). It's nothing fancy but for 5.99 it's a good deal and it does taste pretty with Fettuccine Alfredo.
