J Lohr Hilltop Cabernet Sauvignon 750Ml

This widely available bottling remains a very wise choice for the price point. Dark in the glass, it begins with cassis, pie crust and baking spice on the nose, yet there's a savory black-olive touch as well. Firm yet polished tannins carry dark fruit, cocoa and light licorice through the dense palate. MATT KETTMANN-Wine Enthusiast

Saturated ruby. Dark berries and cherry-vanilla on the broad, oak-spiced nose. Plush and open-knit, offering jammy cassis and cherry flavors and a hint of smokiness. Finishes long and gently sweet, with a repeating vanilla note and building tannins.
