Shop Review: 88 points- Stephen Tanzer. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Light, lurid pink. Tangerine, raspberry and white pepper on the fragrant nose. Juicy and focused in the mouth, offering zesty red berry flavors with a refreshingly bitter edge. Closes clean and tight, with lingering spiciness and a touch of organ zest.
My Review: This wine had an initially floral smell, like dried roses or dried lilies. On a second smell I could pick up more of a raspberry smell. The taste was more watered down than I thought and it tasted a bit like sour cherry. It wasn't very fruity but the one fruit I could pick up other than cherry was a bit of guava, or just a generally sour fruit.
I did not try this wine with food.
