Ravenswood Vintners Blend 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon

My parents enjoyed this wine more than I did. I'll admit as with the Cellar No. 8 Zin this wine softened and opened up more to me with a piece of sharp cheddar but I don't like having to do this with Cabs. I drink plenty of ten dollar cabs that taste quite good on their own. Now while the cheese really only serves the purpose of softening Tannins so that I can experiences the flavors more easily, I just like having a glass or two of wine in the evening. So as far as Ravenswood, while perfectly tasty and as expected for a ten dollar Sonoma cab, I think i'll keep looking.
