here's a good example of what's so disturbing about the rash of expensive cabernets and blends that has possessed the minds of consumers. this is an awkward, cumbersome wine. sure, the fruit is as ripe as anything on earth, but what good is extract if it doesn't have balance? the wine is excessively soft. it's cloying, and to add insult to injury, it's tannic. there are wines that cost one-fifth the price that are far better.
