Nik Pegasus
Gold Cabernet Sauvignon
Central Coast, California, USA
This Cabernet Sauvignon from Central Coast in California, is drinking very nicely now, although still young.
Showing black fruits with wood, vanilla, earth, spices, chocolates, coke, light vegetables, Indian spices, violets, tobacco leaf and black pepper.
Dry on the palate, full bodied and elegant.
Grippy tannins (once it opens up), on the finish with tangy raspberries.
This is a very nice Cabernet Sauvignon. I had it before, but apparently did not let it open up all the way. Really enjoyed the mouthfeel.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly and come to itself, so be patient.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 to 5 years.
Nice to see this kind of wine from California at such a low octane.
13.8% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$43.

Nik Pegasus Gold Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, California
A pretty color of dark ruby, with a wide reddish rim.
Beautiful nose of violets, earth, wild flowers, sweet cherries, plums, black currants, light wood, spices, vanilla, milk chocolates and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, red plums, wood, licorice, vegetables, earth, alcohol, spices, peppercorn, cinnamon and herbs.
Spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a nice Cabernet Sauvignon from Central Coast in California. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Fruit forward with mild complexity.
Drinking nicely now, but still young. Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years.
Needs 60 minutes of airtime, so please be patient. After 2 hours, it is even spicier with a nice bite to it. Very tasty.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
