Kid Cab California 2012 Wine

I have a KId Cab California Wine that is a Cabernet Sauvignon. Is this a sweet wine?
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

I don't know this wine personally, but a little research online suggests it is a good, fairly inexpensive Cabernet which many people seem to enjoy. Cabernets are not sweet wines as a rule. Many California Cabs are soft and fruity, with fairly high alcohol content, which makes them seem "sweet" to some palates. But even that style would not be considered truly sweet in the world of wine.
