Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Country of origin: USA
Wine appellation: California, Lodi
Vintage: 2007
Alcohol content: 13.5%
Color: deep garnet red
Bouquet: canned black currant, coffee, vanilla
Taste: medium body, overripe black cherries, canned black currant, sweet Californian tannins, black chocolate, coffee, longer finish
Recommended food pairing: chocolate cake
Overall score: 4+8+12+7+7+50=88

Very nice example how California can do very good Cabernets, this one is perfectly aged with coffee tones and slightly less cola type character that you can sometimes find in cheaper Californian wines. Very nice coffee tones transcend to nice long finish. For me this is one of the best value CS from California.
