Another "winery direct" selection that at one time was available for all CT retailers/restaurants to buy/sell, but now is only available through 1 big box chain. I used to love their Zin, never had the Cab until now. Not bad for a $12 Cab Sauv. Definitely on the lighter side of medium bodied. Neutral bouquet with hints of baking spice. Cinnamon & dark cherries dark pit fruit coming though on the palate with a faint Cigar & plum skin after taste. Little to no tannin structure. Short dry finish. Overall it's an easy drinking Cab at an affordable price. Nothing too complex, not an over the top fruit bomb either. Balanced and nothing more going on, but for this meatloaf dinner it's actually perfect.
