On the label:
"...captures the velvety layers of berry, black currant, and spice of wines grown in California's North Coast appellation. Here in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake counties we chose vineyards rooted in outstanding soils. The grapes bask in the sunny days and retain crisp acidity in the cool nights, creating naturally balanced wines. The focused fruit expression and light touch of oak make our Coastal Cabernet the perfect choice for an intimate dinner or a barbecue with friends."

Youthfull, roughhewn flavors kick into play at first slurp. This is a decent, exhuberent wine with and a few rough edges.
