A brief wine review: 2012 Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon

I'd like to recommend the 2012 Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon as a very good wine at a great price. I've been pouring it as a de facto house red for the past couple of months.
I've been a fan of the Grand Estates line of wines from Columbia Crest for years, especially the reds. Usually I prefer their merlot to their cabernet sauvignon, but this 2012 cab is a winner.
The wine retails for around $13 or so, but can often be found on sale for under $10.
If you are interested in ratings, Wine Spectator had this to say about the wine:

Thanks. We could use a little more wine talk on the F&D board.

What do you recommend for Merlot?

what kind of lacing are we talking about? Mouthfeel?

Bogle is always a go to for merlots and cabs. I also like BV.
Tempra Tantrum is a decent blended wine- they used to sell a Cab blend and a merlot blend that I really liked.
