Brambly, lightly smokey blackberry jam.

Medium-bodied, well-balanced Cab. Dark berries, currant, tobacco, cedar. Paired with pasta alla marinara (which is just really fun to say!); not exactly a mind-blowing pairing, but it worked - though a meaty Bolognese sauce would probably stand up better to this wine.

A bit hot and woody. I wrote that and then I saw it was called Match Book. Hahahahaha. Anyway, with this one I think the fruit is taking a back seat to the oakiness. Pleasant enough. I think this is one to drink now. This would be a good wine to include if comparing different styles of California Cab one evening. Hot and woody. Hahahahaha.

This is very good. Roughly 20bucks at bevmo but part of the 5 cent lineup. Light and tasty.

Realllly good with cool ranch Doritos (admittedly most things are). Pretty mild, not too dry, good fruit.
