Community Tasting Note

thesandersfamily Does not like this wine:

Wednesday, April 19, 2017 - Purchased this wine based on a recommendation from a friend. Out of curiosity we decided to pop a bottle when it arrived - hopefully the remaining bottles will improve with time. The initial nose is alcohol, tart cherry and a hint of pepper, much more like a Shiraz than a cab. The sourness mellowed after about an hour. Color is ruby to garnet intone with the clarity of a Pinot - get where I'm going with this? Just didn't hit the California cab mark for me at all, nothing rich, bold, jammy or big about it. There is no information provided or to be found regarding the blend which I find odd. Too many great options at this price point for me to want more. I would love to try one of the earlier vintages to see what all of the hype was about.
