I’m not usually a fan of Cabs. But this one, especially after it opens up 2days later is very good.

Unshackled 2023. Nose; pepper, cherry. Taste: cherry, leather. I really enjoyed this Cabernet Sauvignon and a great deal for the price.

Not bad. Fruit forward, but decent acidity and way less wood than the red blend. Says it’s from central coast. I’d buy it again at a discount.
