Canyon Road
California Cabernet Sauvignon
A very drinkable Cabernet Sauvignon from California.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and simple.
Showing black currants, cherries, blueberries, oak, spices, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf and herbs.
Short finish with no tannins at all.
Not intrusive, but not for me either.
13% alcohol by volume.
83 points.

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Simple nose of plums, cherries, wood, cloves, light vegetables and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, currants, oak, vanilla, cloves, smoke, dark coffee, bitter vegetables and peppercorn.
Short finish with soft tannins and tart raspberries.
This simple California Cabernet is drinkable, but nothing special. Unbalanced, but good enough as a happy hour wine. Nothing more.
Good right out of the bottle. Had it from a magnum (doesn't really matter here).
I paired it with beef sliders.
