This wine needs rich fatty food; it's not seriously flawed but it's definitely not what it should be (Diamond Mountain Cab Sauv from a respected producer should be much better than this). The higher than expected acid levels and a hollow mid-pallet are the biggest negatives. I agree with most notes on this wine.

I really try to like this but this must be the worst Von Strasser I have had. I love the 2005 & 2006 Diamond Mtn's right now. But I just am not a fan of this one. I try to use them up when non-wine drinking people come over who are used to drinking Yellow Tail. They seem to love it.

This is not my favorite von strasser. Just seems disjointed with a rough finish. See previous notes.
