Name: Rex-Goliath Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: see below, "Country"
Country: Grapes imported by Rex-Goliath from Chile. Wine apparently produced and bottled in California. On line information from winery indicates "appellation" is California. At tasting event, representative indicated that Rex-Goliath imports grapes and then uses these in their process. Label indicates: "imported and bottled by HRM Rex-Goliath Winery."
Year: not clearly marked, and I even bought a bottle because by wife liked it at the tasting we went to. From winemakers on line description, this wine receives a 1 or 2 year French or American oak treatment, so I would guess 2011 or 2012.
Price: $6.99
Winemaker's Comments from website:
Dark and intense in color. Hints of
cedar and oak, with layers of raspberry, plum, mocha and currant. Smooth
tannins with big fruit flavors lead to a lengthy and persistent finish.
My review: I tasted this wine at Fresh Market-Roanoke's weekly tasting. Nose was not as apparent as some better cabernet-sauvignons that I have had. Hints of cherry. Finish unremarkable. I did not have any food with this wine. Overall, ok, but I'll let my wife drink most of this bottle.
