My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon

Wow. Very nice cab, elegant, with constraint tannins but good structure. Layers of fruit, but not to forward. Excellent.

dark purple; muted, cassis, licorice, espresso, cedar, smoke, vanilla; dense, concentrated, fruit forward; full bodied, medium+ acidity, fine grained tannins, 14.8% ABV; blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, and 11% Petit Verdot, winemaker Eric Jensen’s homage to Stephan Asseo who is owner/winemaker of L’Aventure Winery which is adjacent to Booker; $80

Aroma of black currant, blackberry cobbler, smoke, tar, dates and caramel. Very mild fruit at the forefront of the palate with a long profile and pencil lead on the finish, and cedar. Amazing for a young cab- complex and smooth

Currant, blackberry, smoky deliciousness.

Jammy goodness. Deep rich red and black fruit dominate this beautiful wine smooth tannins and lingering finishing make this a winner

Last night.

One of my favorite value wines. Solid structure, nice ripe red and black fruit, tannic, but opens up quickly, even for a 2019. Nice mouthfeel. Lacking depth and complexity, but again, it is a $50 wine.

Nice fruit. Bit tight, but paired really nicely with a soft and creamy blue cheese. Wow, nice combo. Helps the wine soften up. Still a good value, but I remembered previous vintages more fondly.

HWT - very nice bold red but a bit $ - $50 on sale for $48. Close to old ghost level

What a great bottle of wine. The Cab Sav is 2019 and is not as heavy as many others. We love it! Great bottle.
