Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
Love this bottle, needed to breath for 30 minutes. Smooth cherry mid tongue and leather on the finish.

Aug 10th, 2019Solid, smooth, light berry notes, a slightly bit acidic initially, but overall a joy to drink. Got it for $30, so definitely drinking at it’s price point.

Mar 4th, 2018Dark violet in the glass. Soft, earthy aromas of soil, blueberries, and dark chocolate. Vanilla, a bit of menthol, and spice come to play, as well. Lighter than I saw coming, with a smoothness, despite the overall bigness of the wine. Chocolate cake, Newports, and cherry cola on the palate, with just a touch of dark soil there too. Nice acidity and a not so bad finish featuring vanilla and warm spices. The problem is, absolutely nothing about this screams "Oakville" to me. Not even a little bit. Just a pretty decent sub-$25 Napa Cab. No, not the $65 that WTSO claims, but $25. Overall, not a bad bottle just don't expect to be wowed.

May 6th, 2017No wonder they were giving this away on WTSO. This wine / vintage has a hint of a Napa cab flavor profile, but with no backbone. Taste faded from my tongue almost instantly, like a $10-$15 Cali cab. At this price point, this wine is not for me.
