Crooked River Cabernet Merlot 2002

This came from one of my first wine purchases, two cases for the price of one! Split the cost with a friend, who used his last few bottles to make Sangria, I should have followed this shrewd course of action.

Tastes like red wine infused with essence of bushfire. Wine is definitely past it and now undrinkable.

Admitedly I liked this Cabernet Merlot blend when I made the purchase. Advice for medium term cellaring on the label was a mistake on the part of the winery.

Score: 1/10
Price: $12
Closure: Cork
Would I buy this wine again? No
