Korlat
Benkovac Cabernet Sauvignon
Zadar, Adriatic Coast, Croatia
No where near the quality of the Syrah we had a few days ago. Dark purple color. Restrained, almost non-existent nose. Same goes for the body of the wine. Got slightly better with air, but not enough to change the score. Disappointing, but the food, atmosphere, and views was what tonight was all about!!!

Great Croatian CS, rich, fruity and tannic.

Really like this Croatian cab! Berry notes, dry finish, not very complex, but super smooth.

Mar 21st, 2018One of the best Croatian CS’s, at lest in the middle price range. Very rich, complex, less fruity and more mineral than the typical “New World” counterparts.

Not bad. Very good considering it’s not a well known wine region.

Very excited about this! Earthy, salty, and with a strong, long pungency resolving smoothly. Very balanced
