It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a yummy Cabernet Sauvignon.
Inky in color with a short purple rim.
Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and spicy, with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.
Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, raisins, licorice, cedar, light vanilla, tobacco, mint, chocolates, coffee, cola and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Lake County in California. Fruit forward and rich. Smooth and elegant.
Shows nice complexity already, although still young. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Opulent and delectable. Delicious and engaging.
Good by itself as a sipping wine. Good right out of the bottle, and better with some air time.
A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak barrels. A small production of only 300 cases.
14.3% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$75.

Still young and would be better in a few years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
