  This wine was ok.
  It's inexpensive, but boring, one dimensional and I think my palate has changed over the past decade.
  At least it's changed enough to discern a cab which presents as a cab, has the right character for a cab, but can tell when it's not a multi-layered cab....and when it is, and isn't, interesting enough for me to go buy it again.
  
  Addendum - on day 2, it opened somewhat, ...
  
  Unless I'm buying for my quaffing buddies, then, this works fine... Like many others do
  
  And for under $20 CAD ( about a buck in USD 😂) it's perfect for those kind of events.
  
  Dry
  Alcohol high
  Acid med
  Tannins medium/ integrated/ on day 2 more prevalent
  Viscosity- medium
  
  Can't drink Diamond Creek every day it seems. Too bad for me!
  
  I'm certain there's a million cabs or blends in this category.
  I'm staying away from the entire " genre"" in the future.
  
  Examples to which to move... Rhone Syrah or Spain Tempranillo.
  Much more interesting, with at least the same value.
  
  PS- Drink The Rainbow!!
