2014 Scholium Project Reserve WolfskillSuisun Valley Cabernet Sauvignon more |
2/25/2024 - citizen1 Likes this wine: 85 pointsHigh acidity as others have noted but otherwise actually rather bracing and enjoyable. It's odd - it has the heft of a high abv more substantial wine but the acidity and "lightness" of a milder grape. It somehow works. per the usual with Scholium, it's a roll of the dice - their wines tend to either be tragically disappointing or terrible or really, really good and offbeat. |
