It has been a while since I had this classic Cabernet by Kenwood, it is nice to see how your taste evolve over time, I used to like this jammy wines and now I can’t drink them anymore. The wine is really build to be a crowed pleaser with lots of ripe black fruits, plum, cherries jam and a touch of oak, overweight of ripeness on and a medium body, with no freshness. A wine of the 90s one would say. My score 82, drink to 2021

Really fruit forward and full bodied. $11.99 at Hy-Vee . The Price is good and I consider this a good everyday wine. Smooth & easy.

Initially:
Dry and medium high tannin. Balanced

Sour aftertaste.

Not a favorite for Merlot, white, and sweet preferred drinkers.

Kenwood Cab - never disappoints. Rich plum undertones.

Violets, rose petals, cedar, leather, tobacco, dried cherry. Luscious, mature tannins with a hint of Madagascar vanilla and a very long finish!

Very good quaffing Cab. All the qualities I look for in a domestic Cabernet- touch of green pepper, menthol/camphor, and a basket of currant and blackberries.

Deep ruby in appearance, on the nose there were intense aromas of plum, vanilla, and coconut. On the palate, there was a medium body, high acidity, medium alcohol, high tannins with an okay structure. The wine was balanced, Overall a very good wine.
