On sale... for a reason

I picked up this Cab Sauv on sale at Richie's Liquor store (amazing selection & pricing!) and I quickly figured out why they were trying to push this wine out the door. I have seen 337 on a few different wine lists, so thought it would be a safe purchase, but maybe these restaurants are getting a great price too...

I found it humorous to read the wines web page and see what they say about their "gem". The use words like "exudes seductive aromas", and "velvety, luscious finish." I beg to differ. I found this wine to be very reminiscent of  Lodi (where it's from): hot, lifeless and forgettable.

The nose is hot and hollow with a whisper of spice. The flavor is earthy but not very deep. I really want there to be something there, but there's not. I feel like I found some dried up, dusty grapes on the ground and ate them. The finish is short and I was kind of happy about that. This wine doesn't really carry a flavor I want lingering around in my mouth. I guess I got another 3/4 bottle of wine to put in my spaghetti sauce.

On to another...
