Plungerhead Lodi 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, $11.89-$15.99, 86 points, was deep burgundy colors with a broad clear wine ring and slow tears.
Aromas were shy potpourri and blackberry.
Near full-bodied with fair acidity and soft tannins managed flavors of mulberry, chalky plum, and cola notes.
Finished okay on the trailing palate with a hint of mint, evolving slightly drying tannins, easy warm spice, and a restrained 13.5% alcohol.
Paired fine with our cheese pizza and Kalamata olive salad.

Good price, but, in my opinion, I think Lodi is a little too toasty to produce a world class CS.
