Justin Cabernet Sauvignon, 2005


Justin Cabernet Sauvignon, 2005

I like California cabs, but they are not my favorite wines to drink with dinner. This cabernet from Paso Robles is my favorite California Cab of the moment. This is a fruit-forward, luscious red with just enough acidity to pair well with a hardy steak or some Chicken Parmesan. The nose is blackberry, caramel with a hint of vanilla. In the mouth it is full bodied with cherry, chocolate and well developed tannins. The finish is long and pleasing. If you like "big cabs" with new world style, pick up a few of these. It is sold for about $20 at Pete's Wine Store in Bellevue.
