Saturday, April 10, 2010 - Nice dark color. Nose a little over the top, with candied fruits, some vanilla, and hints of mint. Decent nose, but it has a manufactured almost fake aspect to it. On the palate a typical dark fruit style from a Cali cab but a little austere and lacks the integration and balance of comparable wines. A pleasant wine, just doesn't stand out from its competition in any category. An OK buy from Cinderella Wine and with so many comparable Cali cabs in the $20-$30 price point, I might consider buying it again if under $20.
Second day was a tad better, with the nose becoming a bit more floral and having less of a manufactured nose. Palate still lacked integration with a little more heat coming through. I can tell nice fruit was used, just doesn't quite come together. Would like to think this would come around to be a 90+ point wine, but not seeing that at the moment. Still an enjoyable wine.
