  12/28/2016 - Glenn Gilbert Does not like this wine: 83 Points

  I don't see the word 'Orlando' anywhere on the bottle labelling, so this wine could be different from the Jacob's Creek cab I reviewed earlier this month; now I couldn't go beyond a rating of 83 or two stars (versus an 86 on Dec. 2, 2016), even though the stated alcohol content of 13.7% is the same; screw top, ruby red, fast legz; fruit & alcohol in the nose; my bottle has been open for 8 hours with no use of the vinturi; bing cherries, citrus (sides of tongue stimulated); the wine is rather shallow, little complexity; pair with fowl; moderately long finish

  screwtop, 13.7% alcohol; dark, dark red with medium legz, fruit forward & alcohol in the nose -- slightly more tannins & sour & alcohol than fruit; notes of sour cherry, citrus, minerals, lychee; medium finish; doesn't keep its good qualities very well overnight in fridge; serve with steak, like a good filet mignon
