Estate Winery Cabernet Sauvignon

Blown out but decent.

Volcano Ridge Vineyard. Very restrained, high tannin

Dark ruby/ Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong nose of blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, light wood, dried fruits, chocolates and tobacco.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, black cherries, light oak, licorice, light vanilla, dark chocolates, earth, peppercorn and tobacco leaf.

Medium length on the finish with medium tannins and tangy cherries.

This 4 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from California is drinking nicely now. Rich, chewy and extracted.

Fruit forward on the nose, and much drier on the palate. Interesting, and easy drinking.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes in the decanter, when the tannins show up.

Might need a couple of years in the bottle to mature properly.

Good by itself or with food, a good party wine too.

15.4% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$28.

11/2025. Had another bottle back in August. Rated it lower than this one. Good fruit and feel. Maybe my palate changed?
Enjoyed.

Really enjoyed. Good body, with a great tobacco finish and initial acid. Blackberries and smoky leather.

8/2025. Good flavor and feels good to drink. Nice week night wine.

Decent! Not sure why such low ratings

Finish a little too tanin-y. But nice body.

Baking spices with some chocolate and cherries.

Had it at the duck hunting cabin. Had an almost minty, grassy, herbal taste. Definitely wouldn’t buy again.
