Dette er en ben-tørr, tanninrik, fyldig Cabernet. Den er fullpakket med cassis-smaker som definerer essensen av Cabernet. Men den er veldig stram. Vil den kunne lagres? Det beste gjetningen er nei, p…

Denne viser ingen karakteristisk Rutherford; faktisk kan den komme fra omtrent hvor som helst. Men det er en skikkelig Cabernet, tørr og fyldig, med enkle smaker av solbær og eik, og prisen er riktig.

Denne Cabernet har en ganske tyggegummiliknende, kandisert, gassaktig smak. Den er overveldende moden med kirsebær, rips og mocha, og morsom å drikke, men dyr.

Med noen hint av bjørnebær, cassis og eikepreg, er dette en ganske god vin. Den er litt grønn, og syrligheten er skarp. Drikk opp.

Aromas of vanilla, cherry and cola start this impressive Cabernet Franc from Cooper. On the palate, pepper, cherry and spice is balanced and assertive. A lingering finish of cedar and plum adds to th…

There is a fresh, crisp character to this light rosé. It is eye-watering in its refreshing character, with balancing acidity, smoothing out the edges with a touch of caramel.

Good price for a Cab of this quality. It's full-bodied, dry and elegantly balanced, showing real varietal character in the blackberries, black currants and rich tannins.

More like Zinfandel with its peppery, prickly mouthfeel, but not a bad wine for everyday purposes. It's dry and full-bodied and brisk, with blackberry, currant and herb flavors.

Lots to admire in this dry, full-bodied Merlot. It's forward and charming in sour red cherry candy, blueberry and herb flavors, with a nice edge of smoky oak. Contains a little Cabernet and Zinfandel…

Opens with red fruit aromas that are like a million other generic red wines, while the body has size, grab and stickiness. Flavors of cola, cherry, cassis and plum are red in nature and basically goo…

Cherry, coffee and spicy cedar starts this masculine Cab from Penns Woods. On the palate, tobacco, red currant and pepper offer savory and sweet elements. The wine is balanced with good acidity and t…

This earthy red starts with aromas of cedar, smoke and pepper, followed by flavors of red berries, smoke and minerals. A dry and peppery backbone fishes clean on the tongue. Spunky and fun.

A little rusty in color, with earthy, stemmy, baked fruit aromas mixed with a dose of dried leaves. Seems a lot like Cabernet Franc with its herbal, leafy overtones and dry plum and cherry flavors. F…

Adelaida's basic Paso Cab is delicious and charming, a wine to enjoy with grilled meats or even a simple roast chicken. Direct in blackberry, currant and chocolate flavors, it finishes a little sweet.

Not one of the best Cabs from this venerable winery. Despite a cool vintage, there's a burnt edge to the blackberry pie filling flavors. Tasted in late 2007, the tannins are very astringent, and shut…

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot and Sangiovese is tad jammy and cooked. The wine delivers tight, tart tannins with impressive structure and length.

This blend of Touriga Nacional and Cabernet Sauvignon is soft and ripe, with a good sense of structure and fruitiness. Rounded and with acidity as a counterweight, the wine is ready. Drink now.

Black cherry, tart plum skin and hints of vanilla, caramel and dill show on the nose of this bottling from southeastern Paso Robles. The palate is a tad thin, with black plum, oregano and nettle flav…

This intense, extracted wine shows some bitter tannins along with loganberry and cranberry fruits. There are some spice and herbal flavors in addition to the juicy aftertaste.

Ripe, soft and forward in pie-filling blackberry, cherry, dark chocolate and spice flavors, this has rich, earthy tannins. Drink now–2010.

Leathery aromas of roasted black fruits show on the nose. Solid in feel, cherry, raspberry and a kick of salt house a medium-bodied palate.

Aromas of tire rubber, plum and spice are followed sweet currant and cranberry flavors. The tannins bring some grit.

Waxy plum and a surprising characteristic of watermelon provide a subtle freshness to this otherwise hugely tannic, concentrated wine. Tar and yeast play a role as well.

This young wine is full of black currant fruit and balanced tannins. It has the richness of high alcohol, which brings out a touch of pepper. But juicy fruit dominates. Drink from 2018.
