•Shop/wine critic/winery review: This Cabernet Sauvignon appreciates the warmer vineyards of California’s lower foothills, bringing out robust flavors of black cherry and chocolate. A hearty companion to steak, chops, and ribs.
My Review: From my first initial whiffs, I could smell the cherries in it. It smelled very strong and acidic to me and kind of burned my noise. When I tasted it, it was a bit woody, almost like a strange burnt chocolate you eat in fondue. The after taste is what actually tasted good, and it almost made it taste better than the initial tasting. It tasted like fresh cherries, a tad sweet but also acidic. I'm not sure if I like this wine, but it has potential if my taste gets more refined.
I didn't try this wine with food but I would try it with some dessert to offset the acidity.
