    I liked this wine – good with a smoked cheese. Thought it a little dryer than some cabs.

    I like Cabs, so I have had several to compare this one too. I like the smoothness, and it went well with our Mexican inspired meal. I think it has one of the best lingering tastes I ‘ve had in a while. So the only thing that kept me from giving it five stars, was the price. I have had wine for 15.00 for a comparable flavor/experience.

    From the TS222, this was my favorite. I favor red wines, and would gladly choose this wine a hostess gift or as my choice for serving with dinner at my own home. I , as well as my family and several friends favor reds.
