Palate-Plum on the front palate, with spices and finishes with a fairly weak but fruity berry finish.
Another "California" generic Cabernet that is in a field of gazillions of such wines. This is no more a good example of Cabernet Sauvignon as the myriad other $10 Cabernets that flood the fields of cheap wine.
If you follow my blog and understand my vast experience of wine for over 40 years it might seem like I sing the same song over and over and over with respect to the vast majority of wines I review. You would be correct. This is the result of having a limited budget, on a fixed income, so I focus on the $10 price point wines which is what most people buy. You will never experience or understand the particular grape varietals and how distinct and glorious they can be. Because you have to be willing to pony up the price.
A $10 Cabernet, or Sauvignon Blanc, or Chardonnay or --fill in the blank-- is going to have the same basic profile regardless of where it is from. Yes there are exceptions but exceptions are exceptions because they are "exceptional." [You can quote me on that!] :)
