Blackstone Winery offers a Cabernet Sauvignon which I picked up yesterday on sale for $8 a bottle (750 ML). It says California on the label so I know that the grapes don’t come from a specific American Viticultural Area. Reading this Cabernet wine’s label you’ll discover the grapes come from the Central Coast, Sonoma and Napa Valley. Thats perfectly fine as long as the wine performs.
The color is a deep dark purple. Now the nose or aroma emits a bit of cherry and plum with menthol. If you like dry Cabs this wine fits the bill. It is bold with recognizable tannins that could handle a rich meal fatty meal well. This Cabernet Sauvignon has a finish that hangs with you a while.
There are reviews out on this Cabernet wine. What I noticed about it is people either think its average or pretty good. My view on the wine is it is solid and bold wine with a good price point that will fit with a hearty meal. Not perfect but still good that I would rate at a fair 85 points.
