Wine Shop Review: Well-balanced flavors of dark berries and
plums. Spicy fruit finish adds an extra dimension to this wine.
My Review: This Cabernet Sauvignon was very interesting. It
had an extremely interesting and spicy smell to it. It smelled exactly like a
drink that I have had that is constantly consumed in the Dominican Republic:
Mama Juana. This is a mixture of dark rum, red wine, and tree bark and local
spices. When I tasted it I definitely got the plum flavor which transitioned to
a peppery spice. The finished contained strong notes of wood and earth. This
was not a bad wine, but I found it to be slightly too spicy for my taste.
I did not taste this wine with food.
