Bulgariana
Thracian Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Thracian Valley, Bulgaria
A beautiful, gentle ruby/ brick in color with a light brick/ orange rim.
On the nose, raspberries, plums, unripe cherries, cranberries, light wood, light vanilla, licorice, herbs, spices, alcohol and peppercorn.
Medium-bodied with high acidity, smooth and elegant, with nice legs.
Tart on the palate with plums, sour cherries, pomagranates, strawberries, oak, green olives, light vanilla, leather, licorice, vegetables and black pepper.
Medium plus on the finish, with fine, round tannins, spices and tart cranberries.
A nice cabernet from the Thrace an Valley in Bulgaria.
Seems like it past its peak and probably better when fresh.
A bit unbalanced and not too good to be had by itself. Better with food, though.
It has more of a South American light Syrah feel, then old world Cabernet. Needed one hour to open up. Grapes are 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
89 Wine Enthusiast.
14% alcohol by volume.

Makes my mouth feel rough, some vapor, alcohol content hit my stomach a bit hard.

First Bulgarian wine I've ever tasted, and it is delicious! Great value--approx. $10 at Total Wine. Nice chocolate notes on the nose; tastes like chocolate and blackberry jam.
