I usually like a very powerful Cabernet, but that isn't to say that that's the only way that this grape should be utilized.

This wine is one that I have seen some people love, and some people hate, and I myself am actually on the fence. While it has some very nice spice as well as currants, it does have too much oak and tart for me. But once you get past the oak, the taste is splendid, but probably could be a total winner if the power of the fruit in the taste was amped up a couple of notches.

While this would not be my go-to wine, for some, they actually love it, and being open, there are more than one type of taste in this world.
