Community Tasting Note

I realized after I purchased it that it was a kendall jackson portfolio wine and it took a little wind out of my sails on the deal I thought I was getting lol.

The restaurant actually recommended it as one of their most popular. Clearly it was one with a really good mark-up given the price you are quoting :-). For me, I wouldn't buy it again unless I knew someone who liked it. Not sure how the CT score is so high.
