Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 27, 2013 - Cabernet Sauvignon from the Languedoc.
Yield of 2.5 tons/acre, aged 6 months in barrel.

At immediate opening showed a slightly funky note, that though perhaps was a touch of Brett (which I don't mind)
that quickly blew off, though was just slightly detectable later, but doesn't detract from the wine.

Deep purplish red, but not as light absorbing as many of the bigger Cabs seen today.
Red fruit on the nose, with under tones of earth.
Young for a cabernet, with some drying tannins, but a nice profile of black fruit, brambly, but approachable now, that isn't overly fruit forward, and balanced at 13.5% alc. Would pair well now with lamb, or other richer roasted meats.
