Educated Guess Napa County Cabernet Sauvignon

Quite nice with Pat’s meatloaf. Gift from the Mersels

Hearty fruity start.

Jammy dry opens up nicely

$25 Big nose, high alcohol, purple fruits, strawberry, raspberry on the nose. Complex, medium body, medium alcohol, medium tannins, off-dry. Well balanced. Dry. Spice and blackberry on the tongue. Yummy. Buy again.

Blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, leather smell, magenta purple, boysenberry, leather, brown sugar, blueberries, blackberry, hot tannin with focused acid, slightly hot

Balanced deep red with slight spice. Meal pairing more than a sipping wine.

3.5 stars

Extremely smooth and quite jammy. Easy to drink and soft flavors. The mint is barely noticeable but definitely there. Not the biggest or driest Cab, by far but definitely happy with my glass!

Slight hint of tannins, otherwise enjoyable BUT there are many similar well defined wines for far less cost.

Decent wine. I’d pass at the price point. Got at Trader Joe’s.
