Akiyoshi
Clarksburg Cabernet Sauvignon
Clarksburg, Central Valley, California, USA
Let me preface this by saying that I am a major David Akiyoshi fan. This wine was not really to my taste. The acidity was very high and unbalanced it for me. It is possible that I got a bad bottle; I will try another and update this review.

Limited bouquet but *bam*, punches you in the tongue. Jammy. Spicy. Heavy tannins.

14.5%, full bodied, hint of hairspray aftertaste. I’m not mad at it 😬
