Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The most unexciting Cabernet. Bitter on the tip of your tongue and lack of flavor on back of your palette. Very disappointed. Lack of burst fruit forward.

There is an earthy or vegetable undertone as well. The finish is modest, that was something of a letdown in a Napa cab of this vintage. The finish improved a little and the wine a lot after breathing for about 30 minutes. For $20 at Costco, this was not too bad. You could probably do better though.
