So, I bought this at the rack rate of $50. But then @Ron R had me on the hunt for more wines. I stumbled across this wine now at $39. For me, that's a psychological threshold. Consequently, I thought this was worth a third look as I might now reconsider purchasing. As an added bonus, I thought this would go well with the pork chop and salad I was having for dinner.

There is a delicious intensity here. It's almost indescribable. Again, as I posted the last time, it feels and smells manufactured. This is the diametric opposite of a wine's terroir. Further, it retains all the things I liked when I very first had Caymus. There isn't a ton of complexity here, but that's ok.

Yes, I could be drinking better intellectual wines for the price, but, sometimes, it's ok to watch wresting or football and just enjoy the ride.
