03 Clos LaChance Hummingbird Series

[Drew]

I went to their web site to see what the bottle looked like for searching localy. The below are on their "accolades" link. Look at the Wine Enthusiast accolade...could the three be any more different?

2003 Ruby-Throated Cabernet Sauvignon

Reviews:

San Francisco Chronicle , (July 27, 2006): Light vanilla and licorice overtones lie above the ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit aromas, which flit to a ripe, rich palate of boysenberry and cassis. Supple tannins and black cherry acidity help balance the ripe, fruit-forward style.
Two Stars

Wine Enthusiast, (March 2006): This is a somewhat harsh wine, edgy in both acids and tannins. However, it has polished blackberry and cherry flavors, and it will stand up well to rich, oily cheeses and meats.
85 points

San Jose Mercury News , (February 1, 2006): Wine writer Laurie Daniel named this wine "a good choice in affordable cabernet sauvignon."
