Cheers to my Friday's Cabernet fix.

This Central Coast Cabernet, is deep purple in color with short purplish rim.

Nice nose of black currants, blackberries, cherries, vanilla, cola, cedar, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, leather, spices and peppercorn.

Full bodied (but not bold), with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with plums, black currants, blackberries, cherries, vanilla, oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and black pepper.

Medium plus in finish with round tannins, tangy cranberries and spices.

This California Cabernet is drinking nicely now, with mild complexity and nice balance. This Single Vineyard is showing a nice tangy finish that makes it interesting.

Needs an hour to open up properly, but drinking nicely right out of the bottle. Will drink well in the next few years. Definitely a good value Cabernet.

Enjoyable by itself or with food. I paired it with a steak on the grill, by the pool.

Aged for 15 months in French and American Oak barrels.

14.3% alcohol by volume. — 9 years ago

The wine is a lovely and rich greenish gold, much the same as the LCB “normale,” but maybe a little more vibrant. Aromas are predictably savory - beeswax, lanolin, minerals, citrus - and flavors walk that same path. The tropical fruit hits hard, with that Roussanne nuttiness right behind. The earthy, almost soapy, note stays long after the sip while acidity holds a high threshold. You could spend $45 on a Chardonnay very easily, but this wine gives you something much more interesting for your investment. — 10 years ago

Nice color of gold. Nose is nutty, ripe banana, a bit oak and spice, quite pleasant. Taste is also plenty of ripe banana, plenty of mineral, some oak, and a hint of sweetness. Aftertaste is a bit short with dominant minerals. Quite direct tasting experience and she deserves some good scores. — 9 years ago

Medium light body. Plum red color. Complex medium plus nose with tons of mushroom and earthy musk. Old world inspired burgundy style with dark cherries. Low alcohol. Good tanin structure. Balanced tight finish. Light mouthfeel. Not too much fruit. More earthy vegetable but not overpowering. Medium low acid. Would pair great with food. — 10 years ago

Light and refreshing. Fruity flavors with slight vanilla undertones. Very crisp, but has a slight bite in the aftertaste. Would be great with mussels, crab, or a sharp cheese platter. — 12 years ago

Color of gray purple, just a bit hazy. Nose of nice cherry, plenty of tobacco leaves, and beautiful mix of these two fragrance. Taste is similar with nice acidity, cherry, some dried fruits, supple and lush, some raisins, a touch of vanilla and oak, anise and thyme, and really just silky and tasty. Aftertaste of some citrusy peel, almost no tannins, residual acidity. Very good. — 9 years ago
