Other words on the label: California 2005
This wine was a delight to drink. It is one of those rare light-bodied cabernets that drinking doesn't feel like swimming upstream against the current.
Plum featured most prominently on the palate, with a gentle hint of chocolate and brown sugar. This mixture was mildy seasoned with black pepper.
It was smooth, flavorful, and elegant.
I’ve been wine tasting for years now, but I like to think I approach it from the average consumer’s perspective. I believe the average consumer can appreciate when a cabernet franc boasts deep flavors or that first effervescent sip of vinho verde conjures up delightful summertime memories. But more often than not, they just want an affordable glass of wine that tastes delicious while lounging by the TV.
