Phoenix Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Good friendly balanced and medium bodied. Good value

Restraint, smoke, green bell pepper.

Deep ruby; medium plus intensity aromas of blackberry, black cherry, green chives, grape bubble gum, very musty cellar, wet earth; dry, medium acid, medium tannins, high alcohol, medium plus body, medium plus intensity flavors of tart blackberry, red plum, green chives, musty cellar; medium finish, not sure if mustiness coming from a flaw

7/2022. Bold and flavorful. Nice on the palate.

There are certain things in life I do not understand. Who thought Ishtar was a good idea? Do people really think the designated hitter makes for better baseball? And how does this wine keep getting 90+ ratings? Alas it’s wartime, demand is high, supply is low, and I was seduced by supply, rating, and time only to be disappointed once again. Tannic, herbaceous, one dimensional. A point deduction for the screw cap...

Expected more based on the wine expert at the store. Ok . Over priced

No mustiness in this bottle and looks like it’s following the excellent 2016 which Wine Spectator gave high score
Will improve so will cellar several and see how it develops
