Wine Review: This Cabernet from Justin reminded me of Bordeaux styled wine from California. This dark purple wine opens with a very up front black current and blackberry bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is very smooth, round, and easy to drink. The flavor profile is "restrained" plum and blackberry flavors. The finish is smooth, quite dry, and quite extended. If you are looking for a Cabernet that will match well with your food and not overpower it, this wine will do the trick. The time is now for this wine. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Our 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is jet black with a light red rim. Aromas of black cherry, plum and an assortment of spice, vanilla and toasty oak are prevalent on the nose. A soft, fruit forward entry evolves into a lush, opulent mouth feel filled with black fruit, earth and spicy characters. Hints of caramel and cedar combine with a soft, velvet texture on the finish.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Cabernet Sauvignon.
