Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: California
Country: United States
Price: $5
Description: Subtle flavors of blackberry, plum, toasted oak and a hint of vanilla. Pairs well with pasta, roast beef and steak.
Online Reviews: "What it is, is a very drinkable, very inexpensive bottle of Red wine. It is slightly on the sweet side and the tannins are missing, so there is not a ton of structure, but it has a nice mix of flavors and no 'off' flavor or odd textures."
"This Red wine opens with a nose of Plum and Vanilla. It is dry with soft tannins and Vanilla Spice. Flavors oof Plum, Dark Berry and Vanilla. Great Value wine. Nice to serve at large gatherings. Cheers to all."
Wine Folly: On page 88, the Wine Folly states that Cabernet Sauvignon is the world's most popular wine with a rich flavor and high tannin content. On page 89, it lists the tasting notes as black cherry, black plum, raspberry, black pepper, violet, and bell pepper.
My Review: I really don't like deep red wines, even though I keep trying different ones. I fear I will only ever like a sparkling or sweet red wine. This wine was not terrible by any means, but also did not stand out. It tasted exactly like blackberry and black cherry. The description and reviews talk about plum but I did not taste any (maybe I just don't know what plum tastes like?). I definitely got notes of oak and vanilla which were nice. I found it to be a bit light and buttery, not high in tannins. If it was offered, I might drink it, but if there are any other options, I would likely not drink it.
