Community Tasting Note

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Likes this wine:

Friday, September 23, 2022 - Revisiting for the first time in years...this is a wine that a lot of Americans like myself cut our teeth on when we first got into wine.

Ripe blackberries, black cherries, eucalyptus, mint, green bell pepper on the nose. Overall it's greener than I expected. Only medium intensity of aromas though. The flavors are more intense and are mostly consistent with the aromas except less greenness/stem notes. Medium + body, medium + tannins. Easily identifiable as California Cab.

I was expecting this to be less restrained, more extracted and jammier. I was pleasantly surprised with what I found, and it is reassuring that you can get a textbook example of California Cab for $30 at any grocery store in the country.
