Wine Store Review (from the bottle): "Some say "Cab is King" in Paso Robles. We honor this heritage with a wine that lives up to this lineage. We blend this Cabernet Sauvignon to create a concentrated wine with aromas of currant, blackberry, and hints of caramel, finishing with plum and cherry lingering on the palate."
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 wine smelled absolutely delicious on the nose, with vibrant berry and sweet vanilla notes exploding out of the glass. There is a lot of tannic complexity in this wine, producing a pretty sour initial taste. However, even through this prevalent tartness, there are deep blackberry and cherry flavors that emerge. There is a subtle sweetness to it, which I described more as a vanilla taste, however the label says it is caramel. I enjoyed this robust red wine.
