Tasting - Toschi Cabernet Sauvignon


Name: Toschi Cabernet Sauvignon 
Variety:  100% Cabernet Sauvignon 

Region:  California
Country:  USA
Year:  2011
Price:  $8.95

Shop Review:  Well-balanced flavors of dark berries and plums.  Spicy fruit finish.

My Review: Deceptive but maybe good. This wine starts of very herbaceous. It smells of green pepper, thyme and spice. One would expect to find a sort of earthy character on the palate however the wine veers off on a completely different course with what can only be described as a pungent and fruity jolly rancher flavor. Structurally it is very smooth but tingles with a high acidic quality but the super sweet fake fruit flavors make this wine a no go for me.
