Our vintners know that great wines are worth waiting for, so they’ve slowed down the winemaking process from start to finish. The main body of the text explains that “Slow Press wines are a tribute to the true craft of winemaking. The back label of the bottle is where the juice promotion actually belongs, and in this case I was intrigued by what I read. So, when I see a $12 bottle that is both a 91 point wine and Wine Enthusiast Editor’s Choice, you had better bet that it’s going in my cart. I fall for designations like “Top 100, Editor’s Choice, and Best Buy” which almost always accompany a 90-plus score. This being said, if you’ve been paying attention to my reviews, you have probably figured out by now that I’m a ratings junkie. Phrases printed on the label such as “craft vinted wines,” and “intense concentrated flavor” were off-putting to me, at first, because most of my favorite wines have fairly simple labels that don’t need to promote the juice that’s inside (I’m talking about you, Honig). Copper-colored and shiny, like a penny, and with too many words printed in a safe font, it made me immediately think “cheap cab.” This wine recently hit a few of the Costco clubs that I frequent, and I must say that on first glance, the label didn’t exactly speak to me.
I like my little cabs too, and I’m finding more and more that the quality of these wines are increasing as new & different winemaking techniques are regularly being employed. I like my big cabs, even in the middle of summer.
