Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Cicchitti Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, a poor performance red at a premium level.
Cicchitti Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, By Bodega JA Cicchitti, USD 12
A red harvested somewhere in Uco valley and Lujan de Cuyo displaying a basic structure not attractive more than a barely above red table complexity. Some awkward acidity renders the wine
unbalanced. A compoted fruit core with old oak envelope (like wet wood toasted) complementing. An 84 point Cab old fashioned and poor in performance allready matured and overpriced to my taste.
