Aaku Cabernet Sauvignon
Price: $7/bottleType: Cabernet Sauvignon
Cork: plain jane natural
Rating: 5
Purchased: World Market
So much for the cute label theory. And to think, I was doing so well.
This is a pretty average wine. It's the kind of thing I wouldn't discretely hide behind a napkin at a restaurant, but I won't buy a second glass, much less another bottle.
I find this one a little too bitter, a little too tannic, and a little too bland. There aren't any intriguing subtleties which make me think a second try will bring out something I didn't notice the first time around. It's just not an impressive wine.

I don't know what vintage you tried, but the '04 is pretty above average for $7. The one I tried has a screw cap, so it's got to be a different vintage. "Too tannic"??? Hey, this is a cab; if you don't like tannins, drink a merlot, or let it sit on a rack for 5 years! Try it again, but make sure you buy the screw cap version.
