Agreed. I've noticed that quite a few non-Cab S. wines are strongly
reminiscent of Cab S, and I don't think it's just a stylistic
similarity. I suspect that many Merlots, Cab Francs, even F A hybrids
like Chambourcin, have a fair amount of Cab S. blended in, and it robs
them of their varietal distinctions. I go out of my way to try
unfamiliar varities, and too many seem to be Cab S wannabees.

More's the pity.
