Wednesday, August 18, 2021 - I agree with JAXWINE below…. Though it would be a good lesson to blind this wine with my group to show them what chemical mass produced wine taste like. No hate just saying it like it is.

500,000 cases produced annually(2019 )

SIGHT: Surprisingly light in color but a nice ruby with purple overtones and almost no staining.

NOSE: Like my friend said Raspberry toaster strudel and it’s accurate ! Haha This is raspberry jam if I have every smelled it in a wine with of course Cherry and maybe some strawberry jam as well. This is dominated by red jammy/syrupy fruits in the nose followed by cinnamon/clove which makes since for the cooler vintage.

TASTE: The palate is more Dark cherry with Raspberry Jam or Toaster Strudel and that signature Freakshow Spice. However this wine really falls here the acid and tannins are very low makes the wine flabby and boring. Very easy drinking.

OVERALL: This is a crowd pleaser clearly the wine needs to be drank now it’s starting to get a little cardboardy idk fake wine always start to taste like that when they get older to me but this is still holding just drink now. Lastly, Tasted blind they all thought Merlot because tannins and Staining were so low although everyone liked the wine shows it has fulfilled its purpose. I just can’t rate this 88 it lacks the tannins and structure to qualify as Cabernet it is not representative and taste fake to me but people will love it that are not serious about wine.
