Their review: No company review; no website. I didn't find any worthwhile reviews on snooth or cellartracker that went into depth as to its smell or taste.
My review: Very dark, more purple than red. Definitely some earthy blackberries on the nose. There is a black pepper smell that even in this inexpensive wine offers what might be considered another layer in the flavor that is consistent with some other higher-priced wines I've tried. This is actually what comes out first in the taste, followed by a smooth dark fruit. The bottle has been open (but corked) for several days, which may contribute to the complete lack of dryness. It's not that it's a very sweet wine, but far more smooth than I was expecting. For such a cheap wine, it's done nothing but reinforce my growing interest in cab sauvs.
