Price: $8.95 at Vintage Cellar, Regular $25
Shop Review: From Stag’s Leap winery this is textbook California Cabernet Sauvignon with dark fruit, red cherry and black pepper spice notes. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with inviting blueberry pie and cocoa flavors. Enjoy this wine with grilled rib eye steak with herb butter, braised beef short ribs, or black-pepper-crusted ahi tuna.
My Review: This is a quality wine that I enjoyed, however, I think it would have been even better if tasted with food. On the nose this wine is very berry and cherry forward with lingering spice and vanilla. I love the fact that this wine only has light tannins. This keeps from drawing attention away from the deep berry and spice flavors of the wine.
This wine was not tasted with food.
