aronowm2's Review: This wine should come with a bare-bones label that says "Italian Dry Red Wine". It is unmistakingly Italian and really has no other profile. Almost zero fruit. Could help from cellaring but at this price point I think it's just generic vino.

aronowm2's Review: possibly one of the worst wine experiences I have ever had. All i get is sour sour granny smith apple (and not in a good way) and one of the most awkward disjointed finishes ever. zero oak here and maybe they should have overoaked it cause this stuff is baaaaaad.

aronowm2's Review: for $10 and under this wine is a steal. opens up nice after 30 minutes of decanting. not a bottle to save over several days and the '06's are undrinkable now so I suggest buying a bunch of these and drinking them as fast as possible.

Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon Vintners Blend 2006

Fri, 02 Jan 2009 23:48:40 -0500

Name: Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon Vintners Blend
Vintage: 2006
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Ravenswood Winery
Region: USA > California
Price: $8.99
SnoothRank: 2.5/5

aronowm2's Rating: 2/5
aronowm2's Review: This wine is not dark nor rich with no background notes of black cherry and green pepper. Boring, bland tannins and not-so-subtle oak contribute off-balanced blandness, and the barely existent finish disappears at the exact time you would expect.
