May Rock Sierra Foothills Cabernet Sauvignon
Sierra Foothills, California, USA
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Sierra Foothills in California.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, earth, black licorice, chocolates, tobacco, spices and peppercorn.
Spicy and rich, yet elegant. Fruit forward and delicious.
Showing great complexity already, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Feels like a Napa Cabernet with a touch of Bordeaux.
Showing lots of black licorice notes on the palate, which I loved, not much on the nose though.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years. A good quality wine.
Good right out of the bottle and better after an hour of airtime.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (50% new) American oak barrels for 19 months. A tiny production of only 4 barrels. Unfiltered.
15.3% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$28.

It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious Cabernet.

Strong fruity nose of blackberries, cedar, black plums, black currants, chocolates, vanilla, black pepper, light dust, diet cola, earth, spices, pencil lead and coffee.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, earth, peppercorn, espresso, cola and chocolates.
Medium plus on the finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This five-year-old is Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel. Did not need too long to open up nicely.
Good right out of the bottle, and better as it opens up and brings out more complexity and structure. At this point the high alcohol is well integrated.
Fruit forward and elegant. Rich and tangy. Tasty and easy drinking. Feels like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Delicious.
Good by itself or with food, and will pair nicely with BBQ Meats. I paired it with a cheese plate.
