Shop/wine critic/winery review:
The Usual Suspect Cabernet Sauvignon is a bomba de fruta, replete with a
vibrant and enticing nose that draws the drinker to a very Big House
state of mind. This Cabernet Sauvignon was coolly fermented and aged in
neutral oak to give it a unique profile. We then added a soupçon of
Grenache to this Cab to exercise its aromatic potential. Bang on the
bars of the cell — the Warden welcomes in our newest inmate.
Your Review:
It seems like a cop out, but it has that red berry taste, and only a light pepper smell/taste. I really appreciated that it had a lighter mouthfeel (or body, as I learned), which made it a good wine on its own. I think it ended okay, maybe something there could be better balanced? I don't really, know, but it was a bit weird.
I actually had this wine with my dad this weekend. I know he loves Cab Sav, and after a long day spent driving to visit me, I knew my parents would need a bottle of wine waiting in Blacksburg. He loved it, so we ended up buying 2 more bottles to have on hand. It was cheap, and they paid for it. Love them.
I had this wine with a jarlsberg dip and some bagel chips. Fantastic. It probably would be good with some red meat, but I ain't about that life.
