NORTH COAST RESERVE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2016 North Coast |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |

JOSH CELLARS |
This is one of 43 items out of 92 releases not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. A REPEAT of the recommended 2016 (***) was released on March 16, 2019 at $24.95. Here is my previous note: Extremely deep intense ruby purple colour. Attractive, gently juicy, fresh, ripe, plum-cherry-cassis nose. Dry, medium bodied, nicely textured, slightly spicy, fresh, ripe, surprisingly intense, raspberry-black-cherry-cassis flavours with a well balanced, lingering, vibrant finish that has just a kiss oak. Versatile and very satisfying, this genuine crowd-pleaser is worthy of a detour. Has 14% alcohol and was 4 and is now 6 g/L residual sugar. Best served just slightly below room temperature. |
