I recall reading somewhere that this was perhaps the best Cabernet you could buy at the $10 price point, and so a lot of restaurants also serve it (at about $30 a bottle). I was supremely impressed by its structure. The complexity was less than I would prefer, but it's a sourced cab and, accordingly, you're simply not going to get some of that single vineyard or locally grown terrior that you might find in a pricier CA or WA cab. It's spicy, dry, and is solid enough to be served as a stand-alone or pre-dinner bottle. But it begs to be accompanied by a medium-well done steak off the grill !
