Gran Verano 2011 Gran Verano Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Valley)

Cabernet Sauvignon · Gran Verano

Central Valley

Quality

A 0–100 expert rating: 80–84 good, 85–89 very good, 90–94 excellent, 95–100 classic. Higher means a more highly regarded wine.

80/100Good

This reedy smelling, jammy boxed wine is on the cusp of acceptability. It's gooey in feel, a bit fake and sugary in flavor, and sticky on the finish.
