I got rather confused in a tasting recently by a Cab Sauv from Anjou and needed to give it another shot. Overall this wine was fine for easy sipping on a weeknight, but nothing special.

Marijuana on the nose (?!). Strong tannins. Big initial bite. Dark fruits. Savory. Almost salty. Pronounced sourness.
