Wine Review: This deep purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Cakebread opens with a faint blackberry bouquet with hints of boysenberry, stone dust, and eucalyptus. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, very smooth, and seamless. The flavor profile is a cassis and oolong tea blend with notes of oak and green olive. We also detected hints of stone dust, cinnamon, and dried currant. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and moderate refined dusty tannins are nicely sustained. We would pair this versatile Cab with a filet mignon. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: Rich aromas of black cherry, blackberry, dried sage, mocha, and warm baking spice. The palate delivers layers of cherry preserves and ripe blackberry, accented by hints of dried herbs and anise. This wine is full bodied with integrated tannins and a long, refined finish layered with dark berry, stone fruit, graphite, dark chocolate, and baking spice.
