Is Cabernet Sauvignon a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Quite youthful, yet mellow and quaffable 85/15 CS/Syrah, aged in oak for 6 months. Dense garnet, nearly violet color. Purple rim. Sweet medium(+) intensity nose of cassis, blue fig, prunes, blackberry marmalade, light whiff of kersey and black pepper. Pop-styled palate.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The blend of rich blackcurranty Cabernet and brambley, gently peppery Syrah makes this a very distinctive wine. The vanilla character of the oak is present but subtle, and the tannins are softer than in many Cabernets. A very luxurious drink; silky and satisfying.
