No Fine Print Wine Co. Cabernet 2017 Review
You take this wine to a dinner party, or a backyard BBQ, and you’ll be legit. It has nice low alcohol for a Cab and no frills on the nose and palate. It’s not trying to be more than what it is and I respect that shit. The nose is all plums and pepper with a juicy high-ish acidity that won’t weigh you down. Hell, it might even benefit from a slight chill to wash down those ribs. It’s a solid sharable wine for that twenty in your pocket...plus tax #obvs.
