First and last purchase from Underground Cellar. First bad sign, this "Cabernet Sauvignon" was bottled in a "sloping shoulder" style bottle which you don’t or never see for Cabernet. Second bad sign, the cork crumbled upon opening and the wine was definitely corked. Lastly, the $58 advertised value price I paid. Too many other good online merchant to give my business. 3 strikes you’re out!

I feel it my duty to write up this wine as it's again being offered by one of the "daily offering" entities. My brother--who actually has had more recent vintages of this wine while staying on the property--and I have tried multiple bottles of this wine in the past couple of months and all were heavily oxidized and tired. I wasn't able to finish either bottle I opened and will likely cook with the remaining bottles.

Drinking quite well and a bit more time to further evolve.

Very nice but still too young to fully judge. Am leaning towards overvalued at $34
