Wine critic review: "Aromatically, this Cabernet Sauvignon, which includes small amounts of Merlot and Malbec, is one big black cherry, with traces of earth and tomato leaf. Dark plum and saline flavors are joined by a touch of roast pork and a lot of wood spice. Might work nicely with a bánh mì packed with Vietnamese ham". — Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast
My Review: This wine was very dark in color. It had notes of blackberries, plums, and a slight okay flavor. Overall, it was very mild and dry with a little sweetness and high tannins. I enjoyed the flavor of this wine and would have it again.
Wine Folly: Wine Folly catagorizes Cabernet Sauvingnon as having full body and a high ammount of tannins (page 136). It ranks low for sweetness, but higher for acidicty, which I found to be true for this wine. It's described as having flavors of black cherry, black currant, and cedar (page 136). It is primarily grown in France, but also grown in several locations in the USA, including Washington (page 138).
