About the Wine: I had a previous vintage of this at a wine seminar, one of my first wine seminars, a few years back and have been recommending it ever since. It occurred to me that I should taste the current vintage to see if I should be commending people for buying a great value wine or silently judging them for buying plonk. (Just kidding, wine professionals are always judging our customers. Always.)
About THIS Wine: The center is opaque and fades to a clear rim, which is surprising for such a young Cabernet. Fig and prune are prominent on the nose. Those flavors present nicely on the palate along with a tannin structure that is very well integrated Again surprising for such a young Cab. The finish tastes of plum and lingers nicely.
Drinking This Wine: The wine is not big enough for steak but it stands up nicely to a hearty sandwich.
Overall Impression: I have had bottles that were twice the price and no better. At $10 a bottle this one is a steal.
