Tasting - Purple Paws Cabernet Sauvignon Non Vintage


Name: Purple Paws Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Lodi, California
Country: United States
Year: Non-Vintage
Price: Regular-$15 Sale-$7.95

Shop/wine critic/winery review: "Our Lodi Cabernet has all the classic notes of a California Cabernet Sauvignon. Cloves, olives, and oak with a no nonsense, fruit forward finish remind you why this, the heaviest wine in the Purple Paws line, lends itself to pairings of robust steaks or lamb." -Purple Paws Winery

My Review: Received a black berry and black cherry nose with a hint of plum. It was a very enjoyable red wine, but definitely was meant to be tasted with food. It had a bit of a tannic hit at first taste and then settled into heavy flavors of spices (probably that clove!) and some floral notes. I would like to try this again, but with food next time.
I tasted this wine at the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
