Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon
Red Hills Lake County, North Coast, California, USA
This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Lake County.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black fruits with wood, vanilla, earth, spices, leather, tobacco, vegetables, herbs, dark coffee and black pepper.
Easy drinking and good right out of the bottle. Feels like a Napa Cabernet.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
14.3% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$75.

Aug 8th, 2021It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious Cabernet.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Beautiful nose of wildflowers, blueberries, blackberries, light cedar, licorice, spices, black pepper, chocolates, dark coffee and earth.
Full bodied smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, plums, blueberries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, chocolates, light earth and peppercorn.
Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Lake County in California. Drinking very nicely now, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and good with food. Will be nice to revisit this in a few years, and see how it evolves.
Good right out of the bottle, but so much better after 2 hours of airtime, when it becomes so aromatic. Loved smelling on it for a long while.
Grapes are grown on rocky red volcanic soil, at elevation of 2,200 feet. A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit verdot. Aged in (80% new) French Oak barrels. 1800 cases produced.
