  Blackberry, plum, licorice, vanilla. Medium tannins, medium acidity. Wine is dry.
  
  Tastes like it's life is coming to an end, if it hasn't died already. One glass and I poured out the rest.

  Meh, really nothing to this, I can't believe what some of the wine mags found good about this wine. For $7.99 I can get Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cab which beats the pants off this tepid effort and Columbia Crest is usually about a 88.

  Fruit is OK, but the wine lacks body and is still somewhat tight. Short finish with tannins drying it out way too soon.

  More Cali Red Samples (a few PNW)- Single Blind: Bright ruby color. Smells of blackberries and blueberries, scorched earth, roasted coffee and some notes of sweet red licorice. Fresh acid and medium-strength tannins back up the blackberry and plum fruit. Notes of charcoal smoke, mocha and sweet tobacco round the wine out, and I also get some cedar shavings, chocolate chips and vanilla elements. Medium finish with notes of vanilla and toasted oak. (85 points)
