Tasting – “Purple Paws”

Cabernet Sauvignon

Purple Paws

Lodi

California

Non-Vintage

$7.95

Winery Review: Lodi Cabernet has all the classic notes of a California Cabernet Sauvignon. Cloves, olives, and oak with a no nonsense, fruit forward finish remind you why this, the heaviest wine in the Purple Paws line, lends itself to pairings of robust steaks or lamb. -Purple Paws Winery

My Review:

-Color: Mellow burgundy

-Smell: Light oak, blackberry, cherry, plum

-Taste: Strong cherry, overwhelming wall of cherry that overpowers other flavors, muted finish, integrated and not bitey.

-The cherry was too much for me but could be enjoyed by someone who like powerful dark fruit flavors.
