Californian Cabernet Sauvignon

I very much enjoyed this cab. First of all, can we talk about the cute gold packaging?! Come on… The wine itself was very smooth with a classic taste profile. It is aged in a French oak barrel for about a year and has a red color that sits beautifully in any wine glass, XOXO.

Guenoc Valley Red Blend

I scored a deal at my local wine shop and got two of these to share with my family around the holidays. Everyone truly enjoyed them.

This blend is a beautiful ruby color so show it off in your biggest and boldest glass. It is grown and produced in Guenoc Valley, California, which is about 90 miles north of San Francisco. The 2014 vintage had a warm summer, which let fruits fully shine through. The nose is definitely fruity and the finish is wonderfully smooth. The blend breakdown is 70% Merlot, 15% Petite Sirah, 10%  Petit Verdot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

This is a great winter time wine that is complex in nature but oh-so easy to drink, XOXO.
