Guenoc
Lillie's Collection North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon
North Coast, California, USA
Well....dark fruit vanilla to the nose. Heavy cherry plum jam to the initial palate....where in lies the problem. Initial impression is this guy is going to be a run of the mill cali fruit but then.. charging up from the back palate..SO MUCH OAK...reminding you there is no way this guy will let you enjoy the fruit. A virtual oak slap down carrying with it a med plus finish.

Northern California is on fire, and I'm drinking this after a long day of chaos and a gratefully voluntary evacuation. I'm not picking up a big nose, though I did spend the morning in acrid smoke. This is a soothing, easy Cab with a sneak attack. A smooth beginning crescendos into bright cherry and black pepper. A full velvet body tapers quickly into a quiet finish. We raise a glass to all those impacted by the fires.

Dark deep purple, blueberries, plums and mocha. Strong cab the 14.5% alcohol calls for more air time. Delightful wine.
