Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a nice, "reasonably" priced Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa.  Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is good with cassis, slight saw dust, baking spice and slight vanilla.  Medium to full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Good balance.  On the palate, this drinks easily.  Some depth.  Flavors of cassis with slight black cherries.  Good finish.  This is a good, solid wine without crazy Napa pricing.  It drinks well on its own and will work well with bigger, fatty foods.  A good choice with a Burger or Steak.  Drink over the next five to eight years.  

Inky purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great.  Classic aromas of cassis, blueberries, dark chocolate and baking spices.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  Nice balance.  On the palate, this is delicious if still youthful.  Plenty of depth, it unwinds in the glass.  Flavors of cassis, blueberries, dark chocolate and spice.  Long finish.  Drink over the next twenty years.  This is great on its and will work well with big foods.  A nice choice with BBQ Brisket.

Very  nice showing for this inexpensive Cabernet from Argentina.  This is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Malbec.  Deep garnet in color, clear and bright.  The nose has black cherries, some cassis and a hint of bakings spices.  Medium to full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Nice balance.  On the palate, this is straightforward and accessible.  Flavors of black cherries.  Good finish.  This is nice on its own but better with a bit of food.  A nice choice with a (veggie) Burger.  Drink over the next five years.
