The Path Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 Sonoma

There we were, on the path toward wine drinkin', and it was a big ol' caber-net sa-VIG-nun, the like a-which I ain't never seen. And then we saw it: The Path!

And it was very 50/50 for me. My housemate from New Zealand was a "no" on this one. I figured that some people may like it, you know, if they are on, say their sixth or seventh bottle of wine. I realize that isn't exactly helpful, but it is hard to make something of this wine, when there doesn't seem to be much there to begin with.

The Path is misleading, as in don't follow it, because it doesn't actually lead anywhere. Even on the bottle it suggests a route, but honestly I don't see a cairn or a destination. If you want to walk nowhere, I guess this is your jam (which it has no jam, so don't get your hopes up. When you arrive wherever the path leads you, there will be no jam, so do not expect it). Not that there isn't anything wrong with a good old fashioned "amble about," however, like an after dinner stroll, those typically lead you back home, or that you know eventually where you will end up before you even start, which says to me, why do I need a path at all?


Bottom line: don't say I didn't warn you! Because I didn't.
