Diamond Collection Black Label Claret California Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

No detailed notes. Just a good drink now budget Cabernet from California which drinks to its price point. Blackberry and dark chocolate. A Coppola movie has more complexity ๐Ÿ˜Ž โ€” 5 months ago

Less than $30 in my store, and with Wine Spectator lavishing 94 pts on this example, I had to dip my toe in. WS is the only wine critic I follow, and they are mostly en pointe in my book.
This example is tightly wound and tannic, but the elements of an outstanding wine are all there. Maybe needs to relax a little more in the bottle, but it explodes from the glass right now. Acidity and weight are outstanding for a case production in the thousands. When in a restaurant and you see these wines on the menu, go here to have a great tasting experience, while avoiding a financial nosebleed.

Alta Collection Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Revisiting the Tapiz cab. Balanced and smooth. James Sucklingโ€™s 94 points seem out of bounce though. With good amount of air, this wine drinks very well though. โ€” 20 days ago
