Different, in a good way. Did a tasting of this before we bought a bottle, and the description didn't say Cab Sauv, so we assumed it was a blend. Muted, slightly floral nose. More of a vegetal taste than you'd expect. Very enjoyable.

Nine years later, this was again our choice to ring in the New Year. It's a different wine than the last version - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier this time around (with no percentages given). Still an enjoyable, affordable tool for celebration.

Slightly green peppery nose. Big flavors of sour cherry. Very soft finish. I can taste the youth ... will probably try to let the rest of my bottles hang for at least a few months.
