Cork Vault August Bottle Share--78 Giacosa Riserva, 85 Certan De May, 96 Calon-Segur and more (Charlotte, NC): Fine QPR wine if underrated at ~$35 - $40 a bottle. A simple but enjoyable wine. Waited two hours slo-ox to sample. Standard Napa nose of dark black fruits and cocoa. Loamy on the mouthfeel, I would swear the grapes were sourced from Coombsville. A really nice, flavorful wine. If you like the modern Napa style, this one is a very big, easy-drinking crowd pleaser.

Big bold dark fruit CA Cab. Cherries with a bit of leather on the nose. Decanted for an hour before pouring. Taste of cherries, berries with a bit of cocoa/tobacco in the background. Really enjoyed this wine with a nice steak. One of the better under $30 CS I have found recently.

Visually dark w nice legs. Minerals, fireplace, red and dark fruit on the nose. A bit hot but rich texture and bright fruit on the palate. Relatively long finish. I believe the community pricing is inflated.
