I recieved this wine as a gift and opened it last night. It was so much different than any other cab Iv'e tried. The body was very thin with the color of a Pinot. Different than other cabs that have the 'inky' color and body. Has anyone every had this wine? MS

Hey Laura that's a new-one on me. Where's it from? You have to give more info than jes' Murphy's. Most of us would think it was Irish. WW

Look for the words "vinted and bottled by" or "cellared and bottled by." If they are on the label, you likely won't find a particular winery or vineyard behind the product unless you dig real deep.
Dig deep enough and you might wind up in Ireland after all...
