Community Tasting Note

• seijaro Likes this wine: 93 points

  December 8, 2020 - We can't get to those big numbers... we got a big CA Cab with nothing unusual or distinctive. Yes, quite good and fun to drink but $300? That's nuts. We have had 97-99 point wines over the years and this isn't in that rarefied league.
  I have to decry the heavy dark bottle in the strongest terms... it's eyewash to manipulate the consumer by suggesting quality. All it does is make it harder to decant, increases shipping costs, and fouls up my storage racks. Lafite doesn't do it, DRC doesn't do it, only CA does it. Please stop.
