Cheers to 337 Cabernet Sauvignon wine. It made for nice pair last night with my homemade tomato sauce. This wine’s name is 337 because that refers to the clone or genetic mutation the grapes are from (this specific genetic mutation has heritage in Bordeaux France). This Cabernet wine is made in a great American Viticultural Area (AVA) know as Lodi (its in California) which should but doesn’t get the attention that Napa and Sonoma do. The vineyard in which 337 is made has a very accommodating rocky soil as well as excellent temperatures.
337 Cabernet Sauvignon has a very nice deep purple color and you won’t notice much light getting through. So the wine’s smell is pleasant and as the winemaker puts it “exudes seductive aromas of mocha and dark cherry.” You know this Cabernet wine has soft tannins and I find it to be very smooth and enjoyable. It leaves a fresh wash of fruit on the tongue that stays with you a bit.
Generally you’ll find kind things said about 337 Cabernet Sauvignon. The most common of which would be to the nature of undervalued gem. I was lucky enough to purchase it for $9.50 for a 750 ml bottle and will gladly buy it again. Too me this wine is a solid 89 points.
