What a surprise. Interesting can. On one hand, it’s jammy (and I don’t typically like jammy). On the other hand, it has some spice. And it still tastes like a cab (fortunately).

Smoothest and jammiest Cab Sauv I can remember. This tastes more like a Pinot Noir. Intense blackberry, raspberry jam, and a subtle Carmel note.

Color of dark purple, thick looking with decent legs. Nose of chocolate, dark fruits, strawberry, leather, some more blackberries, and fruit acidic note. Taste is smooth, quite mouthful and silky, slightly sweet with soft tannins, some more ripe grapes, borderline grape juice, vanilla, bitter graphite, and cocoa. Aftertaste shows some warmth, medium long. Just a bit watery. Easy to drink with flavors. Nice find at this price tag.

Jammy out of the bottle, and lacking tannins. Once it breathes (of course) it gains in complexity and develops a nice oaky bite. Flavor is full and bold. From Trader Joe’s. Tasted 15 May 2022
