An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!

2002 Ringbolt Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon (Western Australia)
This was a big disappointment. Nose smelled of old meat and baker's chocolate. As it sat, it got a bit cardboardy too. On the palate, high acidity overwhelmed the flavors, leaving a narrow, pinched feel. 60. Avoid. Was $14.99 at Cost Plus on Richmond, but I wouldn't take another bottle even if they were giving it away.
