Turning Leaf Cabernet Sauvignon

There’s not a lot of back story to this wine.  It’s Turning Leaf, which is one of wine giant E.&J. Gallo’s many brands.  You’ll find it in just about any grocery store that sells wine.  It’s mass produced… so there’s lot’s of this stuff out there.  There is not a quaint story about a family of winemakers that have passed down the winery from one generation to another.  There’s not pontifications about terroir.  It’s just wine.

I’ll be honest.  When I get a sample like this, I’m not that excited about tasting it.  But the producers use technology to their advantage to create a decent wine.  It’s not unique, it’s not exciting, but it’s decent.  Like the majority of wines reviewed here, this one was tasted blind.  I like to make that clear after I’ve hinted at a bias against a production wine like this.
