Wine Store Review: (Wine Enthusiast review), "This is the kind of Cabernet Sonoma County produces so effortlessly. It's full-bodied, dry and smooth, with a touch of smoky oak. The cherry and blackberry fruit is ripe and luscious. An easy wine to drink now."
Wine Folly: Cabernet Sauvignon originates in France and tends to be full-bodied, has high tannic composition, and high alcohol content. The dominant flavors that present include black cherry, black currant, red bell pepper, baking spices, and cedar. The warmer climates, including California, tend to produce Cabs that are more fruit-forward, with flavors of black fruits, black pepper, and cocoa powder. (Kindle version pages 136-138)
My Review: This wine is certainly very full-bodied and has extreme tannins that come through right away. On the nose, there are hints of blackberry and cherry, but also a peppery smoky smell, almost like a campfire log. The taste was sharp at first with the fruitiness and the high tannic structure, but the finish was smooth and left a smoky/oaky flavor behind. I enjoyed this wine a lot!
