After the success of the Shiraz, I was keen to try out the Cab Sav offering from the same folks.
I have to admit, I was expecting something a bit ‘bigger’. The big new world Cabs tend to have a lot of punch to them, and this one is far more subtle than that. Some people like subtle, and I can appreciate it in some forms, but the danger with being too subtle is that it is not memorable.
I will say that there were no astringent flavors to this wine, and it did not kick me in the head the next day. So it basically had no negatives, but no strong positives either. A wine like this is probably good for table wine at a dinner party, because it would not offend anybody and would go well with good food.
Maybe another year sitting in the fridge will help it out.
