Top Notes For
Still a study in mediocrity. Suffers from the faults of its components and the blend is truly the worst of both: the greenness and astringent tannins of its Cabernet and the bright fruit, high alcohol imbalance of its Zinfandel. Age has done this wine few favors. I don't believe this is a bad wine but you could find better balance and similar flavor profile for $10-12 in a CdR.
