Herzog Special Reserve Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Herzog Wine Cellars Year: 2001 Type: Red Country: USA (California, Alexander Valley) Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Note: Aged for 20 months in oak barrels. Alcohol: 13% Mevushal: Yes Date Reviewed: 9/4/06
Color: 2.5 (of 3) Note: A rich, full-looking garnet color with beautiful shades. Almost a three! You can't get much better.
Aroma: 6 (of 7) Note: Terrific aroma's of wild berries, tobacco and licorice.
Taste: 9 (of 10) Note: A wonderfully complex blend of flavors are found in this terrific California Cabernet, including blackberries, plums, licorice, smoke, spices and tobacco. I haven't been impressed with many kosher wines from California recently but this Herzog Cab is in another class altogether. It's rich, deep and soft all at once with just the right dryness and smooth tannins that add to a delicious finish. Well done! Definitely recommended!
Total: 17.5 (of 20)
Food: I enjoyed this marvelous Cabernet Sauvignon from Herzog with spaghetti with my famous homemade tomato sauce. Delicious! It would also go well with steak, hamburgers, zesty chicken dishes or any spicy asian cuisine. I do a cajun blackened tuna steak that would go weel with this also. Very nice!
