4th Saturday Group: Global Cabernet Sauvignon (Our house): A bit darker in color, looks like an old chard, and that played on the group's mind. Melon, citrus and floral elements, with a sweetness in the bouquet that doesn't come through as sweetness on the palate. Flavors of unripe peach and melon with nice balancing acidity. No guesses from the group, though this was also received well.
Opened with m/m tlv. A nice wine in its own right but suffered by having to follow the terrific Pegau Blanc. Notes of melon, citrus, honey and florals. Good weight on the palate with nice fruit and balancing acidity. Melon and orchard fruit qualities with a nice finish. 89-90 pts.
