2005	Long Shadows Feather Cabernet, Columbia Valley My tasting note said "syrupy, two buck chuck". This was the only wine I spit out and poured away the rest. Shocked to see it is a $50 wine produced by famous Randy Dunn. There is no other description but simply Bronco Cheap Wine. They all taste identical: sugary, syrupy, sweet jammy plummy pomegranate. A flawed bottle?? - so - ws	50	*
2005	Hewitt Cabernet, Rutherford full body, mild earth, blackberry, has depth - so - ws	65	****½
