May 14, 2010 - rjrausch has it right - and if I remember correctly, that's the second time this has happened recently. Light color. Plum and strawberry on the nose. Plum, raisin, and a kind of peach liqueur type of taste. I think that's the "mineral" others have noted. Almost like a sauvignon blanc. Which I love when I"m drinking white, but CDP not what I have come to expect. Right after mentioning to someone that I almost never taste a red wine I just don't like, my last two Cinderella wines were that way - the La Cueva del Contador and this one. Not that I totally don't like it, but leaning in that direction. Not one I would choose to have again when there are so many great wines out there.
