Tasting - Cabernet Sauvignon Batucada

Varietal: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot
Region: Leesburg, VA
Country: U.S.
Year: 2008

Winery Review: Our 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits fresh herbal notes of pine and eucalyptus on the nose. It has hints of darker red fruits mid-palate, such as black cherry and raspberry. The finish is smooth, with traces of cinnamon and oak. The perfect red for your richer dishes!

My Review: I felt that this wine had a strong black cherry aroma. Even before reading the tasting notes I was able to depict it from my initial smell. I also immediately knew from the smell that the wine was going to have a spice do it due to the cinnamon aroma. This wine was definitely dry and spicy on the palate. It had a long finish that ended with a tinge of vanilla on the palate.

Food: N/A
