Tasting- Clay Shannon Pistol Grip Cabernet Sauvignon

 Name: Clay Shannon Pistol Grip Cabernet Sauvignon 

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Region: California

Country: US

Vintage: 2017

Price: $40.00

Review from Wine Enthusiast: "Obvious charred oak aromas and flavors give this full-bodied and moderately tannic wine a smoky, peppery, cedary flavor profile that subdues its varietal-fruit expression." -87

Personal Review: I expected a lot from this wine, and was completely disappointed. The body was nice and not too full or tannic, considering how high the alcohol level was. Other than that, I have nothing good to say about it. Immediately after opening there were literally no flavors or aromas that stood out from the alcohol. Online reviews talk about oak, cedar, and cherry, but I could only MAYBE get hints of these after letting the wine sit open in a glass for an hour. I don't plan on drinking this one again. Not worth the price.
