The Show California Cabernet Sauvignon
California, USA
Not really my kind of wine - big, burly with slightly burned tones. Mocha and such flavours. Too big and concentrated for my palate.

May 26th, 2018Our 11 year old recommended we buy this. Solid purchase. (He's not that reliable.) Oak and vanilla on the nose, cherry and clove on the palate.

Deep ruby in color with a wide, cloudy brick /purple rim.
On the nose, blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, dark plums, leather, wood, vanilla, cola, licorice, alcohol, spices, peppercorn and herbs.
Full bodied, Jammy and extracted, with medium acidity and very nice long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with sweet plums, stewed cherries, earth, black currants, sweet strawberries, bitter herbs, light vegetables, leather, pencil lead, cola and peppercorn.
Medium plus in length on the finish with round, bitter tannins.
This is a nice surprise. A nice California Cabernet. An above-average everyday Cab.
Rich, extracted and well-balanced, with a nice mouthfeel.
Enjoyable by itself as a sipping wine, or even good at parties. Will pair well with grilled meats or beef stew.
Needs 30 minutes to open up and show some mild complexity. Might be a tad better in a year or so. Worth a try at $12...
A nice collaboration of Joel Gott, Charles Bieber and Roger Scommegna.
13.9% alcohol by volume.

Great label, great wine for the price! Bold flavour smooth mouthfeel. Just enough tannins to be a solid California Cab.

Wowsers. For the money ($11) this was a lot of bang for the buck. Glad I buy multiple bottles of everything. But I will also pick up a few more of these!

Nov 20th, 2017Full body Sweet berry flavors to start, oaky in the mouth, with a spicy lingering finish. Smells of berry.

Jun 18th, 2017Oaky aroma. It's big. Better have with some food. Too much alcohol and bitterness for my taste. Perhaps needs some time to mellow.
