This is a rich wine that has a smooth but complex flavor. I highly reccomond this wine, its rare to get such a unique rich flavor for just 8 dollars.

I prefer this one to the 2004. The flavors are a little more complex. Darker fruits come through on this one and the oak flavors are a little more contrived. Darker pomegranate and currant flavors come forward in this bottle. Give it time to breathe.

Surprisingly good flavor for an inexpensive wine. Not very complex, but seems to appeal to most palates.

An even taste with little bite. Had a notable amount of sediment. Half of our bottom went into a Bolognese sauce and the rest into our glasses. A pleasant combination.

I was overwhelmed by pepper. On the nose, throughout the palate, everywhere. I tasted a little cherry, but not enough to make me want another bottle.

Nose: Very earthy and leathery with hints of cherry. Not an unpleasant aroma. Taste: I got lots of leather, mud and just plain earthy flavors. It has a good full-bodied feel in the mouth, not too heavy as long as it accompanies something with heft (stinky cheese, french cuisine, etc.) There was a plum and tobacco component on the palate as well. Definitely not my style of wine, but I'm sure there are people out there that will love this wine for its over the top earthiness.

Very smoky nose, although that did not carry through to the taste. Flavors of apple, pear, and pomegranate, with a surprisingly light body for a cab sav, and a bitter/sour quinine-like finish. Good value for the money.

VERY earthy and smoky flavor. For me, this is a good thing, but may not be for everyone. Smells almost like church incense. Goes down surprisingly smoothly, though, with an intriguing lingering finish.

Earthy, sweet, peppery, pleasant nose. I catch a whiff of the sweet potato with marshmallow dish my mom used to make for thanksgiving. This wine has a dry flavor; I'm not catching any fruit in the taste. Starts fairly flavorless and develops a earthy, peppery, flat flavor. Sort of unpleasant aftertaste. I'm not a big fan of this wine.

I definately get a lot of pepper like everybody else said, way to much as a matter of fact. A hint of cherry and just the right amount of oak and maybe some, on the back end it tastes like scotch which I don't Particularly care for. This wine DEFINITELY isn't for everybody (it sure wasn't for me) but for $8 you can't expect a whole lot.
