The First Wine Tasting - Apothic Cab Cabernet Sauvignon





Name: Apothic Cab Cabernet Sauvignon

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Region: California

Country:  USA

Vintage: 2019

Price: 8$

 

Winery Review: This soft, rich and somewhat sweet wine tastes like an after-dinner coffee drink. Not bad at all, but not what one expects from Cabernet Sauvignon – Jim Gordon (5/1/2021) – 84 – Wine Enthusiast

 

Wine Folly: Cabernet Sauvignon - The world’s most popular red wine grape is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc from Bordeaux, France. Cabernet Sauvignon is loved for its high concentration and age worthiness. Primary flavors are black cherry, black currant, cedar, baking spices, and graphite.

The only flavor I could taste was black cherry, but it tasted more like a cough medicine type of black cherry flavoring.

 

My Review: A mild and fruity smell with slight hints of cherry. This wine was smooth and went down very easily, and almost felt light and airy in the mouth. Had a tame fruity and cherry flavor, and the after taste reminded me somewhat of a cherry cough syrup. Unlike the review on the bottle, I didn’t get any vanilla flavor.

 

Tastes on its own with no food, but with friends.
