Wine Store (Total Wine) Review: California- Sustainably farmed and vegan friendly, this light-bodied wine delivers flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and a hint of vanilla. With only 85 calories per serving and less than 1 gram of sugar this gluten-free wine is mindful moderation at its finest.
Wine Folly: The Wine Folly text labels the dominant flavors in Cabernet Sauvignon as black cherry, black currant, red bell pepper, baking spices, and cedar. It is considered a fuller-bodied red, and can contain different flavors based on the region in which they were grown and harvested in. The grape is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, and is the most widely planted grape in the world (136-137). *I use the Kindle version of this text.
My Review: This was probably one of the first red wines I have truly enjoyed and wanted to share with others. It isn't an overwhelmingly tannic wine, so it was more palatable for me. It has some really warm sweetness to it which I mainly view as a vanilla flavor, but also super bold berry tastes that hit me right away. There is definitely acidity to this wine, but nothing so strong that I felt the need to pair it with a food to calm it down. This is a really smooth and somewhat bold red wine that I think is great for an introduction into the world of reds. I would totally re-buy this!
