$4 Cabernet Sauvignon
Talus 2004
California
Trader Joes
The nose is vibrant and peppery with hints of roasted red peppers and green grass. the first taste is definitely grassy with a sweet undertone that I can't put my finger on. It has a strongly metallic finish which is quite unpleasant. The second sip is very herbaceous and a lesser metallic taste and by the third sip my taste buds have adjusted and it becomes bright and grassy. It also has very high tannins and is very astringent. I think this wine could definitely benefit from a day on the counter.
