Tasting--Gnarled Vine Cabernet Sauvignon



Name:  Gnarled Vine Cabernet Sauvignon

Variety:  Cabernet Sauvignon

Region: San Joaquin

Country:  USA (CA)

Year:  2009

Price: $9.99

Winemaker's notes (from Total Wine and More Website): This wine is well balanced. This wine is robust in blackberry jam, cassis and mocha chocolate flavors, but has good acids and firm tannins.

My tasting notess: Strong blackberry aroma on the nose, but it is pleasant and balanced. On  the palate, the blackberries continue to dominate.  Some spice as well on the mid palate. This one is kind of tart on the finish, but I just opened the bottle this evening.  I tasted this wine alone only.
