Shop Review: From Stag’s Leap winery this is textbook California Cabernet Sauvignon with dark fruit, red cherry and black pepper spice notes. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with inviting blueberry pie and cocoa flavors. Enjoy this wine with grilled rib eye steak with herb butter, braised beef short ribs, or black-pepper-crusted ahi tuna.

My Review: This wine immediately reminded me of alcoholic wipes. After I smelled this wine a bit more, I could detect a cherry and fresh wood aromas. As I tasted it, I could definitely taste the cherries. I had even gotten a burnt wood taste. This wine was tart and left your mouth dry. I will say that this Cabernet Sauvignon is not like others I've had. I did like this Cabernet Sauvignon more than others I've had in the past.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
