2017 Michael-David Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Freakshow – USA, California, Central Valley, Lodi (5/8/2021) Day 1: Got this in my Santa sack and let me tell you I must have really been bad in 2020! Easter egg dye, water, some spice and diluted red currants. To say this has a short finish would be an understatement. This wine is totally made for the consumer that slams their wine and looks for fun labels. 65 points Day 2: Sweeter. Now we are talking. Spice and sweet fruits. Cardboard after taste. Big improvement as it is now! 68 points Day 4: Wow is this sweet now! Candied fruits in the house. Acidity almost non existent. Had to drink a cup of coffee to kill the taste. 67 points Recommendation: If you are a label shopper go for it. If you want something about the same price range that is good then buy Substance Cabernet from Washington. (65 points) |
These wines are a mess and cater to the person who slams their wine. Please move this around in your mouth and understand why this wine is so poorly made.
