Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 | Screw Cap | C+ | | 07APR12
Going in, I knew that this wasn't going to be anything special. To tell the truth, I didn't even realize that it had a screw cap until I got home. Knowing that prior-to, I wouldn't have gotten it. Anyway, as I said, going in I wasn't setting the expectations high. Pouring looked quite similar to the others of this type: Deep red, and purple at the edges that fanned out to and eventual transparency. Upon the first sip, there was NOTHING UP FRONT.... NOTHING!!! At the back was a bite and some nice berries. I almost didn't even have anymore. Literally, it tasted like water up front. It was such a weird thing. Intrigued, I left the cap off to get some air in there and sure enough it helped bring out the up-front over time. Now I was able to say some more. I was getting hints of butterscotch at times, but it was ever-so-slight. It was quite different and I did like that. As for the rest of it, it was kind of hard to drink... Not the worst and CERTAINLY not the best.
Would I buy again? NO. Not unless there wasn't anything else available.
