Elegant and feminine on the nose with lovely cassis, toasted oak and violet notes, this medium-bodied Cab is another excellent bargain from Romania’s Prahova Valley. Sturdy tannins and a pleasant astringency add structure to the luscious, ripe red fruits on the palate. It’s high in acid, but well balanced, ending in a puckery, sour cherry finish.——A.I.(12/1/2010)—— 87
