  Honestly don’t know the vintage faint aromas of oak chips and black currant Medium-full bodied, this is round and mouth filling but very low on tannin and extremely low in acid. I’ve had worse, but rarely. Actually MUCH less offensive than a glass of Meiomi that was my only choice at an alumni dinner last year 82.

  Tasted blindfolded. On the nose it immediately screams grocery store cab. Fruity to jammy plums, cherries, a bit of green pepper, cedar, and generic oak spices. Medium-heavy bodied, nice medium-high bright acidity, and a bit dusty. Fruity palate of plums, cherries, a bit of raspberry, cedar, and an array of oak spices. After a few sips, I start noticing green bell pepper. Medium dusty tannins bring in a bit of pencil shavings and graphite. Medium-long finish with a hit of bright cherries followed by graphite and black-pepper dominated oak spices.
  
  I have a feeling we have a grocery store cab in the glass. Overall this is good wine, but lacks the depth higher end cabs have. My guess it is somewhere around $8-12 bucks for the bottle.
  
  Blindfold off – the wine is dark purple. As I sip on it more, the worst thing I can about this wine is the lack of depth.
  
  The reveal: Sutter Home Cab Sauv. $4.49 a bottle at Safeway. Honestly, this is yet another shock on the cheap wine spectrum for me and proves that you need to taste these wines blind to fairly review them

  Ok. If you want to buy for a party, it's pretty reasonable.
