  This was popped and poured and right out of the bottle it was quite disappointing. Very confected, disjointed and goopy. Probably would have rated it around 78-80 on that showing. Decided to keep it for the next day and while it was still not great there was a marked improvement. The red fruit was a lot less candyesque and the oak and alcohol had integrated somewhat. Notes of chocolate on the mid palate and a clipped finish. Terrible value at $30 and ceertainly not a wine i would buy again. This will never be a really good wine in my opinion but I think with 5+ years in the cellar this will eventually come around and be OK. Overall this has to go down as a pretty poor effort from Ramian.

  Over oaked, hot, flabby. Its like the wine maker just tried to do to much with too little.

  Raw, green, unintegrated effort. Harsh tannins, sharp finish. This wine needs some direction. Maybe some time in the cellar will even things out? But I cannot recommend for $30.

  Cabernet Finale (Wine Exchange. Orange, CA): Drank as part of a Cab Sauv tasting and it had been decanted for several hours. Very rich heavy smell--almost burnt fruit. Good concentration up front, but fades quickly (length around 15 secs). Vegetal. Medium-high tannins. Would like to see more complexity, length, and overall oomph.
