  I agree with Brujazz and AussieRoddy. Sharp and acidic notes overpower the fruit. Hopefully this is just young and that will all resolve itself with time. No rush to drink my remaining bottles. Wouldn't reorder.

  I think the note below hits the nail on the head. It is acidic and sharp and that detracts from it obviously being a well made and crafted Cabernet. Perhaps it will mellow with more time in the bottle, but I consumed it over two evenings and had the same impression both nights.

  Retail $20. Big ass bottle. 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Carmenère, 1% Petit Verdot. I had made spicy beef enchiladas for my Korean mother-in-law for her birthday (what can I say, she likes my latin cooking!) and I was deciding what to pair across from another Sweet Bordeaux. I opted for this Cab. Quite dark in the glass with an abundance of dark fruit (cassis, plum, blackberry), a healthy dose of earth, a smattering of spice, a brief visit from freshly ground coffee, and just a whiff of herb (oregano?). The palate is quite frankly delicious. Cab is rarely a go-to for me, but this is incredibly well-done. Fruit, spice, earth, verve, all the elements are there. And at under twenty bucks? Holy cow, this is a winner.

  Some nice dark fruit notes. A little acidic, some sharpness. Best when first opened. OK
