+--- Thread: 1996 Placido Cabernet Sauvignon (/thread-12321.html)

This showed up as a recent addition to the Placido selections in one of our local retailers, and I picked up a few bottles on a lark, figuring that it could be made into salad dressing if need be. Surprise! A fresh minty nose, peppery fruitiness that seems more like that of a Zin than a Cab. Someone else please blow four bucks and tell me I'm not seeing ghosts. Four bucks! $3.99!?! Clayton, my retailer, has gotta be sandbagging me!

Talked to Clayton about this Zin-like Cab, and the reason it's being given away. He said the distributor is dicontinuing it, so it will no longer be available to retailers. The price is a clearance, fire-sale type offer.
I bought all he had - what was a full case when it arrived home. Somehow, two bottles were pulled before it reached the cellar. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
