Global Fusion Red Blend
California, USA
This is a wonderful Bordeaux blend from California.
Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked strawberries, spices, pencil lead, oak, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, chocolates, light vegetables, pencil lead, light wet leaves, peppercorn, leather and earth.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient with it.
Very tasty now, and will age nicely in the next 5 years. Feels like a Left Bank Bordeaux.

It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a tasty one from California.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. A very pretty color.
Fruity nose with blueberries, plums, currants, light cedar, vanilla, light earth, licorice, black pepper, spices and chocolates.
Medium plus in body and smooth, with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black cherries, sweet strawberries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, coffee, dark chocolates, light earth and peppercorn.
Medium plus in finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very enjoyable Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend. Drinking very nicely now, and will continue in the next 5 years.
This 6 year old is showing nice complexity and balance, with a very enjoyable mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, but gets more complex as it opens up. I let it decant for 2 hours.
A good quality wine. Delicious, interesting and engaging.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with meats, cheeses and light appetizers. Was really nice with the Italian salami.
A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon 30% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Grapes are grown in Napa County and Sonoma County.
