It has been a lengthy struggle for me to find a decent WA Cab. Most of them are either "value wines" that aren't very nuanced in flavor, texture, or bouquet. The rest tended to be too dry or youthful, not my favorite qualities in a Cabernet. So yes, the Reininger did the trick, and I'm happy!! I guess since I'm a writer, I have a bit of an advantage in the blog entry prep department...*) I typically get my write-ups started a few days early with some background info, then fill in the tasting notes as I can.

Glad you found a good one, mine was okay for a $12.99 bottle, but not much to write home about. As usual, you are way ahead of the game on WBW!!! Most of the time I end up hastily drinking my bottle on the actual Wednesday and hurrying to write it up! I'm impressed. Great write up Huevos!
