This is a good wine. I was surprised as I also bought the higher end Reserve version of the Carson Ridge Cabernet and was disappointed, so I wasn’t expecting much from the cheaper version…I was mistaken and never judge a wine by its label.
I love the fruit forward bold Napa Valley Cabernet’s and so I expected something similar from the cheaper Paso Robles wines. It’s been hit or miss so far but I’m starting to find and appreciate several Paso Robles Cabernet including this hidden gem.
It’s not an amazing wine, but it’s amazing for the price I paid of $10. There are better wines at $10, but this one is acceptable and better than some $20-30 wines I’ve felt I wasted money on.
Taste Notes
Fruit forward, blackberries and dark fruit. Slight acidity. Smooth finish, slight aftertaste that has a dryness that I think is due to the acidity.
Nose is weak but it’s after a day being opened. It still tastes fine after a day which is good.
