I thought this wine was good, for a $20 bottle of wine. i had the same experience with the hyped-up marketing at a local small chain of grocery stores...advertising a $100 bottle of wine for $19.99. I researched it and couldn't find anyone charging more than $22. I complained to the store for their misleading advertising.

There is a post dated Jan. 5th regarding this wine. I suspect that Colonial Beverage posted the positive comments. They got in a very large amount of this wine and have been highly recommending it. I picked up 3 bottles as part of a case I put together. It was fine, not great but good. Not a lot to the wine - basic cherry/slight cabernet flavor. Soft tannins, very accessible for such a young vintage. I have no idea how they are claiming it was $130 a bottle. Even the winery website lists it at $21 a bottle. I'm guessing they must be comparing to other Spring Mountain wineries. Very shady marketing here! It was acceptable to throw in a bottle to help make up a case but not much else. I prefer the Buehler cab (at the same price) or Novelty Hill (at $5 more per bottle). Don't get overjoyed and sucked into their marketing gimmicks as I had. There is much better fish in the sea to enjoy.
