A Flavorless Cab

2002 Twin Fin Cabernet Sauvignon
$9.99

This was a blind taste for Jen.

Shane’s Notes – sweet aroma, jammy. Palate – absolutely nothing to it. No distinctive flavor. Decent tannins. Very light in body. Drinkable but not worth taking seriously. It’s an “I just want to get drunk” wine.

Jen’s Notes – Aroma – ripe, sweet berry fruit. Definitely New World. Palate – tangy, currant, juicy. Tasty but not much to it.

Jen’s Guess – California Zinfandel in the $12-$15 range.

I think Jen went a little easy on this one. I had read that this was one of the best $10 California Cabs and if that is true, $10 California Cabs just aren’t worth drinking. For comparison, the Santa Ema and Xplorador Cabs, two Chilean Cabs under $10, are definitely better.
