| CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2016 Lodi |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
IRONSTONE |
| Deep intense purple colour. Very spicy, cedary, baked cherry-plum-apple nose with lots of clove notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, very juicy, spicy, plum-cherry puree flavours with a faintly sweetish, somewhat cedary, very spicy, clove-driven, mocha-chocolate-tinged finish. Although this entry-level, commercial style its has its fans, it is totally not my style of Cabernet Sauvignon. It usually sells for under $10 in the US and the Wine Searcher’s Critics' Score averages 86-points. This one has 13.5% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar. Not up to the riper, higher alcohol 2015 (*+) with 86.5-points released on April 15, 2017 at $17.95. If you love cloves, then this is for you! |

| This wine is no stranger to long-time Vintages customers, and it's one that new customers should get to know. It has cemented its place as a go-to value option for California Cabernet by simply being one of the most consistent wines out there. A crowd-pleaser with broad appeal, this rich wine will show impressive dark fruit, cassis, vanilla and chocolate tones. Perfect for grilled steaks and mushrooms. |
