skn stands for screw kappa napa and is created by winemakers Richard Bruno and Greg Kitchens for Don Sebastiani & Sons. I would describe this wine as dark garnet in color, with a nose of tobacco or coffee, ripe raspberry or blackberries, and vanilla oak. I agree with other reviews that it delivers classic Cabernet flavors of currants, blackberries, cherry preserves, black pepper, and cocoa with hints of cloves and earth. Compared to other Cabernets, it does not have strong tannins, so would be a great bridge for non-cab lovers. It is fruity like a Merlot, but with more body. Would definitely buy again at the $10 price.

I had this a second time with a friend, and found it equally good.
