The Other Guys
Plungerhead Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon
Lodi, Central Valley, California, USA
Ruby in color with a wide reddish Rim.
Fruity nose with black currants, plums, earth, cherries, spices, light oak, dust, green vegetables, bitter herbs and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with plums, currants, blackberries, vegetables, spices, light wood, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Medium finish with bitter tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a simple Cabernet Sauvignon from California. Not fully balanced, but very drinkable, nonetheless.
Good for every day and nothing special. Peaking now, as it will not get any better. Needs 30 minutes to open up properly and remove some of the bitterness.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses, nuts and fruits.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
86 points.
$13.

I thought this was a good $11 wine. Fruity, raspberries and blackberries. Very bright. Easily drinkable. Nothing highly memorable about it, but a bottle I would buy again. Would be good with some barbecue - could use a little smoker meat to go with it. I see a lot of peppery comments and I get that.

Just not my cup of tea (aka, wine). Has a very strange aroma that translates to a somewhat bitter aftertaste. Can’t put my finger on it, but it’s not a pleasurable experience. Probably others with a more refined pallet like it, but not for me.

Decent budget wine. A bit too much Dr. Pepper for me, but that is what the masses like. Would be great with BBQ.
