Monterey Cabernet Sauvignon

This perhaps gives a new meaning to the term “still wine.” Fill level: low shoulder. Cork shattered on opening, had to use the port filter. Yes, it’s still wine, a bit brown around the edges, surprisingly sweet in the mouth. A bit port like in fact. Too bad the winery did not invest in better corks, or that I had opened it 20 years ago.....
