Hi Wine Lovers :)

The wine I tasted for this post was the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from Hopland, CA. This wine is about $12.00 per bottle. Wine magazine describes this wine as being well-balanced, full-bodied, wine showing a purity of black fruit flavors that are not disrupted by over-oaking.

Recommended Pairings: grilled meats, baked brie with cranberries and spiced pecans, fennel sausage pasta.

Aroma: red fruit, specifically cherry (wine folly textbook page 31)

Secondary Aroma: earth, specifically mushroom (wine folly textbook page 31)

Tertiary Aroma: general aging, specifically vanilla (wine folly textbook page 31)

Flavors: blackberry, toasted hazelnut, and cinnamon

Grape Varietal Characteristics: the world's most popular wine is a natural cross between cabernet franc and sauvignon blanc that originated in Bordeaux (wine folly textbook page 88)

My Thoughts💭

I don't know who Josh is but he makes a pretty decent wine. It definitely wasn't one of my favorite Cabernet Sauvignons that I have tried, but it was cheap and tasted good. I don't know if I would recommend it to a friend, I would have to try more Cabernet Sauvignons to be able to decide if it was in my top 10.
