Lava Cap
El Dorado Cabernet Sauvignon
El Dorado County, Sierra Foothills, California, USA
Crushed stone fruit with a neutral gravel finish, uncharacteristic for a cab. Enjoying this different kind of "earthy" tannin flavor

Quite fruit forward but not over powering and works well with a hearty dish. Enjoyed with a Bolognese of beef, pork, and veal.

Easy drinking, light cab. Needed about a half hour to open up and then it was much better.
