Avia

[Drew]

Found this review on the web on a '90 vintage:


Avia Cabernet Sauvignon (Product of Slovenia / Primorski Region), 1990
Laureate Imports
Date Purchased: 6/95
Dates Consumed: 6/9/95
Price: $4 at local wine store
Alcohol 12.0%
BW: Reddish brown, rather pale for a cab. Aroma - hint of barnyard. Is this what is meant by "earthy"? Flavor - at first, it seems objectionally sour. Then, later, it still does. Not a hint of oak or complexity. It's drinkable. C-
SD: A light vinegar cab. Surprisingly sour for such a weak taste. Drinkable -- I would want this wine when I was sitting wet and alone in the gutter, feeling sorry for myself and so full of pity that I wanted to get drunk, but not particularly enjoy myself in the process. Not gagworthy. D+
