Seven Rings
Oakville District Cabernet Sauvignon
This 6 year old is drinking very nicely now. Showing cherries, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, coke, light vegetables and spices.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and easy drinking with a light mouthfeel.
Tasty, spicy and elegant.
Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself.
13.7% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$40.

Decent drinkable cab with hints of ripe Cheries. Fruity and balanced. I like more of an oaky, spicy character.
But - this Cabernet is very acceptable to serve at gatherings.

Not big and bold, but quite nice on its own and stands up to a hearty pasta dish.

Jan 28th, 2022I like this cab. Nothing unexpected — but black cherry, vanilla, cedar box on the nose, hints of tobacco and leather — but it’s well integrated at a mere two years of age, and a nice value. A solid Total Wine find.

Jun 25th, 2021Medium plus body. Nice balanced tone of cherries, oak, and tannins. Goes well with Italian food, or with steak, or alone. $28 bottle; will need to stock up

Feb 14th, 2021Nope. Tastes thin and nothing like a proper Napa cab. Almost like a Pinot in all the wrong ways.

Jan 23rd, 2021Cherries, strawberries and licorice on the nose. Fruit forward and very smooth. Slight acidity makes for a nice lingering finish.
