I forgot about this one and may have waited to long to drink it.
When I opened the bottle the first thing I noticed was the bright raspberry nose and I was optimistic that I may still be good. Initially it was tight and not show much fruit, but after letting a glass breath for an hour it opened up little and showed some of the raspberries flavors initially teased in the nose.
The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raspberry and cranberry. It tastes like prune, mushroom, dust, tea, thyme, chocolate, clove, coffee, vanilla, raspberry and cranberry. The body is medium/full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

At Vino Volo, flight "Captivating Cabernets". All red fruit, lactic, sweet and a little hot, soft tannins, jam--everything I hate about most Paso wines. J. Lohr-ish in style at four times the price. Avoid!

Our guests enjoyed it to the end before I got a taste.

Enjoyable Cab, if a little on the generic side.
