$4, 1 star, 78 points, cabernet sauvignon, central valley, chile, merlot
Medium ruby colored with medium viscosity (12.5% ABV). The nose has medium (-) intensity aromas of plum, asparagus, chocolate powder and blackberry. The green vegetal note is out of place. The palate is dry with medium (-) acidity and low tannins. A lightweight body produces some mediocre flavors of plum and black cherry but the green vegetable thing is still there and it’s off-putting. The wine has a funkiness about it that I don’t care for, it’s prevalent on the mid palate and the short finish. I much preferred the straight up Cabernet Sauvignon from Frontera. This $8 per magnum bottle gets 78 points and a pass rec with 1 star. It’s not worth the effort. Salut….
