Winery Review: We made a very refined Cabernet Sauvignon with great fruit, tannin and acid balance. Not one element dominates the rest as this wine truly shows harmony. To the blend, we added Merlot for softness and finesse and a little Petit Verdot for color and round tannins. The result is a classic glass of Lodi Cab that will pair well with foods on a white tablecloth setting of a dining room or on a blanket in a park toasting the sunset.
My Review: This wine was extremely oaky and smoky on the aroma. The oak was overwhelming and took over the flavors in the wine. It finished very tannic and I found it to be unbalanced.
I did not have this wine with food.
