From the cellar of Bob Hughes and consumed for the "drink that shitty wine" charity thread for Laura's House and Falltacular.
Cellar tracker 84.6. Popped and poured. A decant was not necessary and was not going to help this wine. Smells a little weedy and green. I was thinking it could be Cab Franc. Candied fruit. Medium bodied. I wouldn't say this offensive, but a couple small sips were enough for me. Tasted thin and manipulated a little.

The wine had a bitter taste when first opened. After exposure to air for several hours it mellowed. A pleasant taste of fruit. A long subtle taste. Picked up for $11 at Total Wine. Don't know if I would purchase again.

Nose of cherry, plum, and oak. Tastes of cherry, plum, raspberry, and black pepper.

Cassis, mulch, clove, a bit on the dryer side, very simple cabernet but it's ok.

Tasted muddled and watery to me. Won't buy again.
