Winery review: "Aromas of juicy plums marry with notes of herb and rich cedar in our elegant Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep flavors of blackberry and tobacco give this wine excellent balance, with oak aging adding a toasty, caramelized quality. With a smooth finish, this Cabernet Sauvignon is approachable and delicious with a variety of foods. Enjoy this wine with grilled lamb chops, barbecued ribs, or spicy bolognese pasta."
My review:What a bargain! I love this red wine! I keep it for days and every day this wine opens up into something more and more beautiful. The color is a solid deep red with nice legs. The nose is definitely of oak/cedar, cherry, cigar, and plum. Upon tasting, this mid-bodied wine hits me with flavors of deep cherry, black currant, subtle spices, and of course plum. This wine seems quite well balanced (especially for the price) but plum is definitely the main flavor in this wine. Overall, a lovely red that gets better everyday... until it turns to vinegar.
