2005 Cougar Crest Anniversary Cuvee

Quick write-up on this one...

Nose is unremarkable. I get a bit of sour cherry, but otherwise pretty flat. I remember this being a lot better when I tasted it the first time. I'll update if there is a difference in bottle two.

On the palate, there is good acidity, and a sour cherry/cranberry mid palate. There isn't a heavy tannin taste, but the wine dries on the tongue as if there is. Finish stays fruit forward and has a lingering cherry note.

A good drinking wine. I have to look at what I paid, but I would hope well under $20. if so, good table wine. If not...
