Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 1, 2014 - This wine is the perfect example of why Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of red grapes. They probably made a train load of this from vineyards with high yields, and it still brings some pure, defined Cabernet flavors and aromas. It is not all that rich and creamy, and maybe a touch short on the mid palate. When we poured into the decanter, the nose was pure black currant, with just a touch of oak. The fruit is fairly light, but quite precise black currant, plum and black cherry. There is a flinty, gun metal flavor. There are some drying tannins. A fair amount of alcohol is evident on the nose and palate. But, this wine is often way under 10 bucks. By the time we get to the finish, the taste on the palate is very much like the taste we got breaking our teeth into a fresh picked plum back home in Leelanau County Michigan.
