Name: Winking Owl Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Varietal Wine
Region: Modesto, California
Country: United States
Year: Not on bottle
Price: $2.95
Winery Review: California - Cabernet Sauvignon - 12% ABV - The Cabernet Sauvignon from Winking Owl has complex flavors of plums, berries, toasted oak, and a hint of vanilla. This bold red wine pairs well with pasta, roast beef, and steak.
Wine Folly: Page 229: Cabernet Sauvignon is discussed to have a rich flavor and a high tannin content. The Napa Valley, California page says that the wine from here offers more hints of black cherry but less tannin contents. I was able to taste black cherry and I was able to feel the tannins.
My Review: Not as dry as I was expecting. I was able to taste the blackberry and the plum flavors, but I was not getting the toasted oak or vanilla. This was my real first red tasting experience, and I feel as if I need to continue to try different reds to build my palette. I enjoyed it and I was able to feel the tannic component.
