Photo:


Name: Toschi Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95

Shop/wine critic/winery review:
    Well-balanced flavors of dark berries and plums. Spicy fruit finish.



My Review
    This wine has a dark bloody crimson color and a strong alcoholic fruit nose, like kirschwasser soaked cherries. Upon tasting, this wine has noticeable smoky/oakiness to it, which I don't mind. There are still little notes of fruit, specifically raspberry and blackberry, so the smokiness didn't completely overpower the fruit. The wine is tannic and finishes with a lasting dry/tannic end with notes of berries. This wine is honestly quite nice. 80-81/100
