This Cabernet Sauvignon has a touch of added Merlot and is made from all Napa Valley grapes. It was voted the best Cabernet Sauvignon under $20 by Food & Wine Magazine, October 2007. Aged for 16 months in American and French oak barrels (30% new), it definitely was not over-the-top oak. It smells of pepper and ripe, dark fruit. The wine tastes of fruit less ripe and dark than it smells, and the pepper carries through to the mouth. Mild but pleasing tannins, with a finish not to scoff at, this is probably better as a C&C wine than a food wine. ($17-20) |
