  7/14/2022 - The Drunken Cyclist Does not like this wine: 88 Points

  Retail $27. 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot. This is precisely the kind of wine I struggle to evaluate as I don't ever think I would consider buying it as it is simply not my style. So my dilemma: do I judge it personally or look at it as to how it might be received. There is little doubt in my head that this would be a crowd pleaser for the "regular" non-wine-geek crowd. It is fruity, tart, comes off as a tad sweet (no residual sugar figures given), and has just enough acidity to whet one's appetite. I get all of that. Popular. But. It seems to me a bit extracted and forced. Yeah, all the elements are there and, like I said, a bunch of people will like this wine, but it is just not my style. For what it is trying to be? 89 points. For what I see it to be? 87 points.

  Same exact guys doing what they do. Lots of new full round oak on the nose. All Oakville, Howell and Diamond Mountain. That works it out, right as it is.
