$9, 2 stars, 84 points, cabernet sauvignon, Cali cab, california
A very basic Cali Cab that we added to our Sunday afternoon football/wine tasting extravaganza. This was brought by a friend. Candied plums and wood on the nose were kinda intriguing. On my first taste I knew what I was in for- Violets, plum and twizzlers on the initial attack with a heavy dose of oak. I just wish they had toned down the wood, this wine just is not my style at all. Mild tannins and a hint of acidity make up a very basic backbone to this casual drinker. 84 points and 2 stars for this $9 offering. I think I would pass, there are many wines that suit my taste for the same price. Salut….
