Tried the 2012 Earthquake Cab

Posted by jimbill on March 3, 2016 at 09:22:19:
I found it too ripe and lacking any complexity. It reminded me of a typical cab from Paso Robles. Both are warm growing climates and the fruit seems to get a softness and almost toasted flavor. I can see why it would appeal to the fruit bomb crowd.

Have you tried Conn Creek cabs? Their 2012 is about $24 and usually available in good supermarkets. Not a great cab but more along the lines of what I like in a cab. Subtle dark fruit, some tannins, and a bit of complexity.
