Blackstone California Cab

*Blackstone Winery California Cabernet – Price last paid $10.49 -Red -2005

RATING: Serve to guests!

What I thought: I love this wine. Bold yet smooth to the tongue. Complex, not overly fruity with a spicy taste…with a little cinnamon, pepper ?..also a bit smoky, good lingering aftertaste as well. The nose is rich but not overwhelming. Really calls for stemware instead of this tumbler I have out. (It is a clean glass though. I have some class) Why not have this one around all the time.

Displays a rich ruby hue; the aromatics unfold in a fusion of pepper, exotic spices and ripe plum. The robust palate is well balanced with appealing flavors of raspberry, creamy-vanilla, black cherry, ripe plum, and rich spices. The elegant finish is laced with lingering berry-cherry flavors.

The opinions contained in the above are strictly my own or those of my equally lacking friends. I do not pretend to be a wine expert, a connoisseur or even know what the heck I’m talking about. This is my tongue and these are my thoughts or the opinion of friends I have asked to chime in. If you agree or disagree with my taste (or lack there in) cool. Let me know. Or dont.

If you have found some good wines at or around $10 a bottle, do mankind a favor. Share the love and spread the news. Let’s take the enjoyment of wine away from the rich and share it with the, uh… not-so-rich!
