Winery Review:
Our 2012 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.
My Review: The color of this wine can be best described as being a light garnet colored wine. The color wasn't dark enough that you couldn't see through it, but it definitely had a dark coloring. The smell was an interesting mix of pomegranate but also it smelled as if it were burnt. When tasted, the taste was extremely bitter, burnt, and overall tart. The tart flavor seemed to come at the end when the burnt flavor was leaving your mouth. This wine also did not have a lot of dark legs.
