Community Tasting Note

  • camdawg Likes this wine: 89 points

    March 7, 2023 - Looks like I'll be one of the few to score this under 90 points. But please don't take that as me not enjoying the wine! I thought it delivered well at the price point I bought it at - under $30 from the Vaynerchuk family shop Wine Library.

    What differentiates this from more expensive Cabs? Intensity and length. That said, the classic Tuscan tartness was there. Because of that, the fruit character included a hint of cranberry for me, along with the classic big red fruit you'd get from Napa or Washington Cab.

    The finish wasn't especially big or lengthy for me. But it was refreshing. There was a sense of crushed, wet rock. Similar to what I've experienced from Graves Bordeaux.

    Maybe this isn't a mind blowing wine. But I think it's tasty, refreshing, and food friendly.
