Time for my Friday's Cabernet fix. Here is a delicious one from Lodi, California.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, blueberries, cherries, plums, dried figs, smoke, spices, chocolates, mocha, dark coffee, spices, vanilla, wood and peppercorn.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, spices, peppercorn and leather.
Medium plus in finish with soft tannins and black pepper.
This Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon is always delicious. Well balanced, complex and interesting. Rich and extracted with a great mouthfeel.
Good by itself or with food, like a big piece of BBQ steak.
Good for parties or as a sipping wine.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

3 people found it helpfulDec 8th, 2015Crimson in color, touch of tobacco on the nose and full bodied on the palate. Quite a punch, no shortage of bold, acidic, fruit flavor. Tannic on the finish with some heat and a gin of oak. Overall, this wine surprised me in quality... But if labels are an accurate indicator, is does taste how you'd expect based on the visually busy label.
