April 17, 2024 - Giving this the same rating as the last time I tried it, a 2017. This 2019 was from half bottle. It was a little different that I remember, most notably more earthy/green, with a bitter coffee/slightly dank herbal twinge accompanying very very ripe, very black fruit that veers toward "jammy" but stops just short of goofiness. Some acidity, not too flabby, not a lot of energy either; tannins are present without being in the way. It's a pretty fun and expressive profile; not very harmonious, but enjoyable and not egregiously overdone. I think there are many better US Cab Sauvs around $30-$35, but also many, many worse ones.

April 12, 2024 - Deep purple and garnet color. Rich dark chocolate and ripe plum aromas and restrained oak. Rich chocolate, bing cherry and ripe plum on the palate too. Medium tannins and a soft long finish. Pretty well integrated flavors.

March 14, 2024 - Day 1: garnet color, easy drinking, smooth, a little fruit forward, relatively simple; Day 2: still very good, plum/cherry fruit, tannins a little more apparent

Food Pairing
Community Recommendations
Cabernet Sauvignon was made to pair with red meats. The key to Cabernet Sauvignon food pairing is to consider the tannins. Tannins need protein to break down. Cabernet has high tannins and pair best with fat rich meats that are protein rich. Cab’s fruity, Drank this bottle without food. Good wine for socializing., Grana Padano and Pecorino will also pair well. Cabernet Sauvignon is almost always aged in oak, lamb and meaty pasta dishes. Rich wines like Cabernet Sauvignon need savory cheeses full of flavor that can stand up to the tannins and structure in the wine. Aged cheddar, Manchego, Parmigiano-Reggiano, which softens the wine and makes it pleasant to drink together with food.Who Likes This Wine
